The last of the maps and mailing tubes have arrived here and we will start mailing the orders for flat maps out next week. Customers can still order flat maps for their games and/or additional map sets. Ordering information for flat maps is included at the end of this post. Demand for the flat maps has been heavier than we anticipated and extra sets may not be available for much longer.

We are homing in on the last batch of the local printing which should be at the printers in the second week of Sept for their promised press slot.

We have had a lot of inquiries about the announced increases in shipping costs. We have all experienced this at the gas pump. FedEx and UPS have both announced increases in shipping rates that will go into effect at the end of September. The U.S. Postal Service notified congress that they too must have an increase. This will certainly effect us in the near future but it will not effect orders already made or orders made prior to September 16, 2011.

The $195.00 pre-publication price for Total War will be good until 16 September 2011. Europa Association members also qualify for a 10% discount and free shipping to US addresses when making a pre-pub order. All orders for Total War placed before this date will also include the Bonus Soviet Grand Europa 1939-42 OB/counters.

The Total War preorder, and the special Total War flat map order options close on 16 September 2011. On 17 September the price for Total War goes to its post-publication price of $234.

TOTAL WAR FLAT MAP ORDER OPTIONS

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 September 16th, 2011. All flat map orders will be shipped as received, in advance of any orders for the game. 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.
