Looking for Metz map

I saw references for a "Metz map" here and there, but never find if that map exists in the same shape as Meckel or Königgratz, and in 1/7500 scale.

Could someone gives me some info about it?

Hi Mazzo

The Metz map was redrawn & improved by Bill Leeson, from one originally published shortly after the Franco Prussian War.

It is a huge map, with 100 A3 sheets, so would fill a rather large room. It is ideal for k/spiel scenarios of course, as you only use some of the sheets at any one time. Bill published it in b&w 10 or 12 years ago.

He has since produced a colour version, but it is not currently in print. TwoFatLardies now have a publishing agreement with Bill, and are hoping to offer the colour version in the future.

I'll alert Richard Clarke of TFL to your interest.

Regards

Martin

Many thanks Martin for this reply.

Now, I have to wait...
