We received a commitment today from the printers that they will have the Total War boxes, maps and counters printed and on the truck the week of November 15th. All of us had hoped to have these earlier but we are happy to have a firm slot and can begin to organize for the unloading, packing and mailing.

We have held back announcing a print date until we had a confident commitment from the printer. Originally, the counters and boxes would come earlier with the full size maps to follow. We will give you updates on the progress and mail out dates as we can confirm them. Given the large number of orders placed for the game, it will take some time to mail them all. Confirmed addresses go out first so if you have not updated your address, you still have time.

We are pleased to confirm that the price for one set of the flat (unfolded) Total War maps will be $25. This is a special price and will be good only for orders placed by October 31st 2010. The flat map sets ordered by October 31st will be sent at the same point that the games are shipped. The normal cost for map sets will be $12 per map/$72 for set or $8 for map/$48 for set for Europa Association members after the normal 33% discount. This special price at $25 per map set is approximately 50% or more off normal price. A small way of saying thank you for your patience.

Options for unfolded maps are listed below. Note: All prices quoted below are in US dollars.

No Folds Option #1: Already have one or two copies of Total War on order and want to have the map set(s) from that game (or games) sent rolled up (no folds/creases) in a separate triangular tube via US Post Office Priority Mail. Note that this means your maps would ship in one package and the rest of the game (or games) in another package. Additional cost beyond that you have already paid for the game would be—note that the cost is the same regardless of whether this is for one or two sets of maps to be send unfolded:
Sent to an address in the USA: $20 ($0 for already paid for maps + $20 shipping/handling)
Sent to an address in Canada: $30 ($0 for already paid for maps + $30 shipping/handling)
Sent to an address outside of USA/Canada: $40 ($0 for already paid for maps + $40 s/h)

No Folds Option #2: Purchase a set of Total War maps in addition to the folded set in the game and have the unfolded map set sent rolled up (no folds/creases) in a triangular tube via US Post Office Priority Mail.
Sent to an address in the USA: $45 ($25 for one map set + $20 shipping/handling)
Sent to an address in Canada: $55 ($25 for one map set + $30 shipping/handling)
Sent to an address outside of USA/Canada: $65 ($25 for one map set + $40 s/h)

No Folds Option #3: Purchase two sets of Total War maps separate from any game and have both map sets sent rolled up (no folds/creases) in a single triangular tube via US Post Office Priority Mail.
Sent to an address in the USA: $70 ($50 for two map sets + $20 shipping/handling)
Sent to an address in Canada: $80 ($50 for two map sets + $30 shipping/handling)
Sent to an address outside of USA/Canada: $90 ($50 for two map sets + $40 s/h)

Special Note: If you want three or more Total War map sets sent unfolded ask for a quote as this incurs additional costs due to increased weight. Similarly, if you must have delivery in the USA via UPS (United Parcel Service) instead of via US Post Office ask for a quote as the cost for delivery via UPS will often be a lot higher.
