I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.
Printing extra maps?
-
Is there any specific paper that you guys use to print out extra maps? I was thinking of taking a thumb drive to kinkos and having them print me off a couple maps, what should i have them printed on, just regular 11X17 paper, or is there something more durable/glossy, like photo paper??

I guess it depends on the cost, you could get regular sheets and laminate them…

I was thinking it would depend more on personal preference. I’m not to good to use regular copy paper as is. If they get ruined so what I got 5,000 sheets of paper sitting next to my printer.

You should ask them for Photo Quality Heavy Stock paper. It usually costs a bit extra, but definitely worth it. Using regular glossy paper just defeats the purpose of printing them as the colors bleed and even the regular glossy paper is not durable enough.
