Following the incredible success of Map Pack 3 (http://www.gridreality.com), GridReality is happy to announce our latest map pack, which includes the "Prison Camp" map.

A Prison Camp with virtually no where to hide there is no chance of escape. Guard towers surround the Prisoner Barracks which is almost the only protection you will find from them unless you dare try to take refuge in the cruel Medical Lab that stands in the north/east corner. Good luck, you'll need it.

Map Pack 4 is at the printers right now, and we expect it be available within the next 2 weeks. w00t!

Darn, no preorders? :)

Looks like another good map to further expand our location options!

I think the idea of a "pre-order" is kind of iffy (and when money is actually charged prior to their availability, I think it's actually illegal in some states). We're not going to sell something we don't have possession of.

There's a lot of other stuff coming down the pipe ... so just budget for new maps every ~3 months. :)

They're priced so well, it's one of the only true "impulse" buys left for HC. Well, until the GL stuff this summer, anyway.

Cool, coordinate the map releases between the 'clix releases! We need somewhere to send our $$ ;)

No secondary location on the reverse side?

I'm starting to shy away from one-sided maps...especially at $15.

It DOES say "PREVIEW ONE" which could leave it open to conjecture that there could be a map pack "PREVIEW TWO"

I am sure this map will have a second side to it. I have no Idea what but Steve has said before that all maps will be double sided.

There is a 2nd side ... we'll be previewing that next week. :) I love the flip-side actually; the detail is amazing (as with all the maps).

Our maps are not $15. You are thinking of someone else.

I have the most fun making them. I am not as restricted as I am when constructing Wizkids Maps.

Looking forward to the 2nd preview and I'm in line already!

I should know better re: 2-sidedness because that's been the case with the other Map Packs.

Come on! You guys can work harder. Let's try to budget for every other month. ;)

Our plan was always quarterly; but it all comes down to costs and how quickly we can reach that break-even point. We're certainly not in this to make a bunch of money ... and if you remember from GenCon last year, we probably gave out a hundred free maps. LOL!

Well the revival of the game has certainly helped everyone. I hope and pray you get what you need to keep making maps.

It's not really about what we need. Just like how I paid for the site out of my own pocket while HeroClix was on hiatus (with the help of those that continued to donate even when we didn't know if there was a future for HeroClix), I believe that GridReality is something that is needed. I know ibeatdrew feels the same way. We're gamers, and we love the community. So even though GR and 'Realms are different from a business perspective, our core values are the same.

You'll see a lot more from GridReality this year. :)

I would buy all of these in a second ... however the shipping to the UK is high (and understandably so).

I'll have to see if I can snag them when I'm home in Canada.

Their quality and ingenuity is so good that I would buy a double sided map from Grid Realtiy without previews and just be ready for a great surprise when it finally arrives on my dining room table.

I would like to see another space map or perhaps a space station and definitely one of the moon (Asteroid M, Inhumans) and a full underwater City of Atlantis map.

Awesome and thanks. WK has been keeping me busy but I always make room for GR!

Yeah sorry about that. Hopefully we have something in the works that might save you overseas guys some money!

Awesome and thanks for the confidence! I try to make every map special and unique. I have draw blueprints for a space station...just waiting for the right time to build it.

Everyone thanks for the comments. Your continued support and feedback is awesome!

I'm fine with the rate that these maps are coming out. When i finally get mine, i like to have some time to play out a couple battles on each side and appreciate the hard work that goes into making these fine products for a hobby that many, if not all of us, love/obsess about by spending MANY hours collecting, playing, and admiring. Keep up the good work and i for one will be supporting your efforts in putting out other alternatives for me to use my thousands of figures i already own.

I'll be ordering a pack tomorrow morning, right after work. The Camp looks like it'll be a nice compliment to The Mental Ward.
