Poster Maps in Adventures?

[Nebulous]

I had assumed all along they were battle maps. It just makes more sense (Wizard's bottom line) with the direction the game is taking. People are much more apt to plunk down an additional $40 to populate their brand new shiny maps with evil plastic critters.

This sounds great. I can always cover unexplored areas of the dungeon with black construction paper.

One of my big complaints about the "Expedition" series was that they didn't include any full-sized battle maps. Seeing these included in the new 4e adventures might make them worth their higher cost for me.
