Could any one set up a blank EPIC map in the download maps section (20x13) please?

Looking to try and create some games for actual figure playing.

Many thanks

I'm not sure what you are asking for here..  a picture?

Having made a few maps for Epic C&C Ancients with figures, I can tell you what I did.
I bought a length of felt at the local clothe store, and used a template of a 4" hex to draw the 26x11 hexes required. Not perfect, but usable.  4 inch hexes were ample sized for 1/72nd scale (25mm) figures.

I was looking for a template to make up scenarios. We then apply to games using figures. The map is the guide. I posted a picture of one of our recent games at Partizan 2 last year.

To be clear, in the same format as on the download section - maps.

I have nothing like that..

there is the board database

and just a blank Epic map image from VASSAL
​​​​​​ 

if you want to design scenarios, I recommend VASSAL to you. It gives you the map, terrain images and unit images to put onto the map and can be printed.

You could also try using the CCN Scenario Designer (part of the CCN Game Support Applications Suite ).
Example epic mapboard attached:

Go to the download maps section of the platform you are using to create the game. Look for the option to create a new map.

Choose the size of the map. In this case, you want a 20x13 map, so select those dimensions.

Select the terrain type. For a blank m a p, choose a plain or empty terrain type. This will ensure that there are no pre-existing structures or obstacles on the map.

Save the map. Once you have selected the size and terrain type, save the map. You should now have a blank 20x13 map that you can use to create your game.

Customize the map. Depending on the type of game you are creating, you may need to add features such as buildings, obstacles, or terrain features. Use the platform's tools to customize the map to fit your needs.
