For Standard. Uses the Diet HF FTA counter for BAAB tank order.

Updated to steal some stuff from DaddyMacSac's normal funds version.

So I think the opening here is a bit too streamlined - you get out an early AA on the strong side, place it in range of the opponent's airport and then you delete your Carrier to grab the 3rd base (it conveniently works out so that you can delete the Carrier right when an Inf can start capping the neutral base AND right when the AA can cover the airport instead, too). Delaying the 3rd base to keep the Carrier is not worth it IMO, neither is trying to counter the opponent's AA since you will likely delay your 3rd base significantly by doing that.

It is a cool idea though, it just needs some tinkering/terrain edits to allow for more diverse openings. I think the main problem is that an AA can replace the Carrier very neatly.

EDIT after changes: Now this is more like it IMO as there is no convenient early AA line anymore. Upping this to A as it looks quite interesting now.
