Here I go again ...
In case anyone is interested, and even if you are not, here are some shots of the US unit counters, their combat power values, and one of the status sheets player will use to keep track of their units. Note no values are on the counters to increase the fog of war, and you won't be able to tell how far gone the unit is from the counters during play.
Much is still in flux and development so there is not a 1:1 match between the three sheets. Units and values may vary. -

Two examples. Yorktown. Another place I have GOT to get to. My two attempts were frustrated by personal issues.
And then one of London.
Be prepared to lose some time. -

Little Bighorn Battlefield Map
I printed and assembled the maps and you can see them below with some counters on them for effect. The game is a long way from being published. There are 2 or 3 more things in the queue before I get to this one. The table is 5 feet square. The boards are the anti-cat and wife protection for another game underneath.
The third photo shows a close up of the high contours with the transparent vegetation. I think it might be okay like that when printed out.
The fourth and fifth are just other views of the battlefield.
