Moved to B-rank as there are some small issues with the map. One problem is that a lot of the full-send tank moves conveniently end on 3-star-terrain (this is the case on both fronts), so that takes away some of the decision-making and incentivizes both players to rush forward to park tanks on contested cities (as there is no downside to doing so in most cases - you don't even cede map control).

Another issue is that the HQs and Com Towers (both high-value targets) along with several of the contested cities are too close together which overly incentivizes players to all-in on the corners IMO.

The terrain is also a bit same-y as there are several big clumps of plains around the map.

Shame! I've addressed all these issues as much as I could with the new layout, to incentivize attacking the central area without making the corners worthless and also requiring thoughtful positioning. Hopefully this new layout works much better!

Yeah, I think this should work better. Moved the map back to A-rank.
