I agree. Like the product except for the map quality. My maps are already beginning to fray/tear. Would love thicker, non glossy card stock in the future like the typical MMP HASL (e.g. Budapest).
My advice is to never refold HASL maps after you carefully do the initial unfolding. I have two pieces of plywood that I put all my OCS and ASL HASL maps between. Then I gently clamp the edges so that they flatten over time.

Apart from the multiple back and forths between Chicago and Warsaw with a toilet/rest break in London and a complete orbit over both Chicago and Warsaw, Chicago to Warsaw in 2 hours and 4 minutes! The distance is 4,664 miles, so allowing, say, only 10 minutes to land/take-off each end and (un)load that's over 2,600 mph, 400 mph faster than a SR-71!

So either they are using some retired black book aircraft or someone in USPS is yanking everyone's chain and wondering if anyone notices.

Or, the times and dates have not all been normalized to GMT...

That would make it far worse!

Warsaw is GMT+1, Chicago is GMT-6 and assuming the times given are local time, so departing 13:26 from Chicago is 19:26 GMT, arriving Warsaw 15:30 is 14:30 GMT.
So they flew 4664 miles in -4 hours and 56 minutes (yes that's a minus sign before the 4). That requires a Tardis!

Maybe we have just found the proof that wormholes do exist. Nobel Prize anyone?

Just got mine today, and damn, very nice.

I got one of the non defective M20s.

Lots more chores; binders, and figuring out where counters can go....

Am I missing something here? I can’t find note ‘O’ under German reinforcement group chart for V1 and V2

It's for RGs V2 & V3, not V1 & V2, but you're right: the note is missing. It is unlikely to be the same as note o for the Americans either.

The note is not missing, but the reference is incorrect.

Errata: In the German RG chart, for V2 and V3, the note should read "a,c,n". For V6 and V7, the note should read "a,c,m" and "c,m", respectively. For O6 the note should read "k,m".

I'll get an errata thread started.
