For Standard
v1.1 version of https://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=165468

Changes:
- Removed 2 properties from 2b side to balance out 1b 2b economy
- Switched neutral/preowned status of bases 1b and inf
- Added multiple forests around 1b to slow it down
- Removed mountain from airport so vehicles can now go long way around
- Added shoal close to open HQ so first tank and inf can land in more safe area
- Added pipe seam to improve 2b reinforcement time without lander

Updated map:

- Changed pipe seam into shoal so 2b can reinforce without lander immediately
- Moved airport to 1b side from 2b
- Moved side com closer to 2b side
- More terrain in middle

I'm not completely sold on this (yet). Some problems that could be fixed are:

- I think the Lander base is rather weak overall compared to the other 2b base, even if you destroy the pipeseam. Vehicles are almost always more useful if built on the other 2b base because they can cover more ground in 2 turns. That limits player choice quite a bit. Maybe the Lander gimmick could be scrapped entirely and the ex-Lander base could get some routes to the center landmass. That would unfortunately require a heavier rework though.

- The other 2b base, meanwhile, does have decent choices available, but maybe a shoal could be added to (02,09) to give it a little extra flexibility.

Upped to A-rank after the above problems were fixed.
