OK, I'm back from Kinko's this afternoon and the cardstock mapsheets
laminated as well as I expected they would.  Although nearly as light as
unmounted maps, they are much sturdier and don't curl or flop around.  From
both cost and quality perspectives, I think this is the gamer's best choice
for a board surface.
Another interesting touch that I forgot to mention the other day is the use
of reverse typeface for the hex grid coordinates printed on dark areas,
making them much more legible.  Nice move.

I should also note that some good people pointed out sources in which
Friedrich von Paulus' name had been shortened to "Paulus."  Surprisingly,
one of the books was within arm's reach on my own shelf, and yet this usage
has never registered.  It's amazing the little blanks the mind fills in for
you automatically.

Other errata from the product review:
 - Replace the word "Show" with "ASLOK" in the section about the
countersheet.

Enjoy your Saturday, Europe and North America.  I've gotta catch 40 winks.
