War Drums map sizes

News I first saw at www.hordelings.com (well done, Kevin!)

Stephen Schubert posted on maxminis.com:
War Drums starter maps are 22x34 - the same size as the blank grids in the old starter. Fantastic Locations maps are 21x30. Skirmish maps for the forseeable future will be one of these two sizes. (this thread)

Also:
The Red Hand of Doom map sheet is 21x30, double-sided, though one side has two encounter maps on it, each approximately 21x15. While you could run a casual skirmish on one of the sides, it isn't legal for tourney play, and doesn't have any skirmish markings (exits, start areas, etc). It also uses a number of 1-square gaps, for doors and between buildings, so it isn't the best map to play on for large creatures. (this thread)
