P2 seems to need to avoid any city skips to maintain a healthy tank order, while P1 seems able to do a useful city skip without
compromising tank order. Does that qualify as FTA?

I could also just be completely wrong.

Map is slow to get any action going. It's alright after that.

I'd say the map has a few issues that combined make it rather bland and a bit stally:
- The frontline could use more good terrain to work with, especially around the corner cities. These are usually the more contested ones but they're both surrounded by just plains and roads.
- HQs and Com Towers are both rather safe.
- The map is a bit slow to get going (I'd say it takes until at least day 9 until fighting happens, provided the players handshake the center captures).
- If the players handshake the center, it looks to me like there are just 2 contested properties - namely the (05,13) city and its mirror. So the game will be quite stally then - meaning players probably shouldn't handshake the center. But then you choose between center brawl or stall, neither of which sounds enticing.


The city skip for P1 doesn't exist though as far as I can see. Still, I'll move it to B-rank because it has a few too many problems IMO. Though a lot of these are easily fixable.
