Sorry to piggy-back on this thread, but can anyone confirm the size (sq x sq) of the mini-game maps for the Iron Man game (as well an any others)?
Are they the same as the Street Fighter mini-maps?
I know its 6 squares wide... im not sure how long though. It looks pretty close to Street Fighter size.

16x6. I don't know if that's the same as Street Fighter or not.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Nope, another misconception is Map Rules. They are not optional when choosing maps, I have a House Rule stateing that map chooser gets to also choose if they want to use the rules or not.
I think that's been perpetrated by the fact that the rules for NML and Earthquake flipping are suggested scenarios and not official. But outside of those events (and your house rule), a player who chose AVM Stark Tower, por ejemplo, must abide the orange square rules, right?
I won't look at your dial-on-card, I don't look at my own, and you don't need to see my DOC, ever. Otherwise, we're not playing HeroClix.

right, as far as I know. To the best of my knowledge the only map with optional special rules is the HoT Rainbow Bridge map. With the NML while the "map flip" is only suggested the special terrain rules are not optional.

1.2.10 Maps: Any WizKids-created HeroClix map is considered official, with the exception of maps from Star Trek: Tactics. Official 36- by 36-inch maps (3 x 3) can be used in any HeroClix event. Official 24- by 36-inch maps (2 x 3) can be used in any HeroClix event when only two players are playing on that map. Maps of other sizes – even those created by WizKids – can’t be used in a HeroClix event. Venues may dictate that maps are restricted to 2 x 3 maps if space issues are a concern. Venues may dictate for an event that only a particular map (or maps) will be used for any or all of a specific round, though this should be announced prior to the event. All WizKids sponsored events will only permit the use of maps that include the color designations for terrain and starting areas.

Just got updated... Where's my tinfoil hat?

1.2.10 Maps:
Any WizKids-#‐created HeroClix map is considered legal if the set through which it was released is legal for the format. Maps released with a Modern Age set can be used in Modern Age events (whether it is sealed or constructed), Golden Age maps can be used in Golden Age events, and Star Trek: Tactics maps can be used in a Star Trek: Tactics event. If an event restricts force builds to particular set(s), then only maps from those set(s) may be used. Venues may dictate that maps are restricted to 2 x 3 maps if space issues are a concern. Venues may dictate for an event that only a particular map (or maps) will be used for any or all of a specific round, though this should be announced prior to the event. All WizKids sponsored events will only permit the use of maps that include the color designations for terrain and starting areas.
