Thanks for this post Bob. I got these on the old forum one year from the Secret Santa, along with 2 Japanese Trucks with a custom card even. Anyway, I can't make out the name on them, they are paper copies of the actual maps & I had them laminated. Thanks for any & all help.
Thank you for this info bartok. Are/were there any special/new terrain types involved in this map, I see either snow covered peaks or Rugged/Craggy Terrain in the hills. Also were there any scenarios related to these maps & if so & you have access to them, could you share please. Thanks!
First two Mountain maps finished - suitable for Italy/Greece/Yugoslavia/Romania and other mountain theatres.
MOUNT-1, MOUNT-2 (same as Balkan and Jungle: Balkan-1, Balkan-2)
For HHR Set 7, we will also issue new type of terrain - mountains:
- Vehicles: off-road movement disabled - Artillery with Relocate SA: off-road movement disabled - Infantry without "Mountain troops" SA may move only in their assault phase ("boys, pack your guns and start climbing !").
Here are the Hexes and Counters used in AAM:HHR (.pdf)
HHR: All units in mountains get cover +1 (they cannot get better cover roll than 2+). Cost of trenches in mountains is doubled.
Vehicles may not move off-road. Soldiers movement cost is doubled if they do not have SA Mountain Troops / Mountain Gun.
Use: Soldiers with base speed 1 get Speed 0 & SA Relocate 1 – so they can move only in their assault phase. Guns with SA Relocate 1 may not enter mountains if they do not have SA Mountain Gun.
Try: Mountain is an elevation. A unit positioned on the Mountain sees all hexes on the map except these behind another Mountain and the ones located on adjacent hex to the forest/town or other
LOS blocking hexes (these units are "in shadow")

Somebody grabbed it already. What is the deal with the CD? What is it for?
The CD had the applicable scenarios, rules, and special rules for new pieces they created specifically for the map set. I have the mini-cd that came with the Stalingrad map set (10m and 100m), I had never seen a CD for the French map.
All I have are the maps, now laminated. They were just on paper when I got them in a Secret Santa package from the old forum. I would like more information on them & they will certainly see use. Thanks for any & all help on these.
Curtm1911, I have the rules of engagement for both the FRANCE 44 and STALINGRAD 42 with several scenarios for both all saved in PDF format. If you are interested I can email them to you.
I was the one grabbing it. I have always found the HBF maps interesting, but have never had a chance to buy any of them. On the old forum, I remember someone posted a pdf of the rules related to this map, which seemed like an interesting take on how to fit the original AAM rules to urban combat where the scale is 10m per hex instead of 100m. So looking forward to trying out that!
If there is any interest, I’ll be happy to try scanning the map to high quality, so that you might be able to print and play it yourselves (I guess that should be okay seeing how the producers have not really sold this ultra niche product for this dead game at retail for ~10 years). I’m very interested in the two Stalingrad maps, so please reach out if someone happen to have a copy to sell or scans to share
