Map editor?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Does BftB come with a full map making editor - that is, making your own maps from scratch?

Yes.

There's a shortcut to the Map Maker executable in the Battles from the Bulge folder.

Thanks for the fast response guys ... is there a serious learning curve involved in making a map from scratch, and is there a tutorial on map making?

The map editor is fairly straightforward - you sketch out the outlines of contour levels and terrain, each within it's own drawing layer. Then you compile it.

There is no tutorial but you don't really need one since the mapmaker manual has good illustrations in it.
