No, they're 5 miles by 5 miles, so they're all the same size. (25 square miles)

Hi JohnVW. If you are referring to the Scenario Generator, you could add map=ELPine_1 and map=ELPine_2 in the "Map List" tab:
ELPine 1 / map=ELPine_1 / 5.0 / ELPine mod
Then you can create a scenario and run it, as long as you also have the mod activated. Note, that there is no minimap included in the Generator for this map. But you could run a sandbox on that map and make a screenshot of the map for reference.

but all the maps in the scenario generator are either 2.5x2.5 or 5x5 (and the manual says those are the options as well)...I assumed a 10x10 would be too big, and you wouldn't see it in the generator (to setup your OBJ's, troop starting points, etc.)?

Yes thats right: The current version only supports 2.5 and 5 mile maps, while the next version will also support 10mile maps. But AFAIK the ELPine maps are 5 mile maps so these should work.

If its of any help my favourite maps (of the 5x5 mile ones) are Gettysburg, Fox's Gap, All the Pipe Creek maps and Brandy Station.
