This map is extremely cursed, and will probably be very hard for players who do not plan thoroughly. DO NOT PICK SASHA unless you have either deleted the battleship or really planned for every possibility.

Early game, either delete the battleship and give up a battleship for 19600 to go full aggro, or avoid starting your turns with 5600 funds and focus on pumping out infantry, mechs, and maybe even recons. If you don't delete the battleship, you may need to base skip to be able to avoid starting turns with 5600 funds, but it may be worth it so you can build units next turn. Once you hit 6k income per turn or greater, your battleship will start healing every turn until it is fully healed. Note that on cartridge, the battleship would heal 1HP if you have between 2800 and 5500 funds, but AWBW will only heal units for 2HP (3HP for Rachel).

Your "strong side" will be your side with the battleship because, not only do you have a battleship there, but you can also send vehicles to that side more quickly than your "weak side". The center will probably mostly be made up of infantry, mechs, some air units, and vehicles dancing around the battleship ranges. The sides of the center land mass will probably see a variety of vehicles and air units, and the outer sides will probably be mostly air units and a few infantry with vehicles reinforcing from the sides of the center land mass.

You can win by taking both com towers or all of the labs, but you'll likely need to deal with your opponent's battleship first, and the easiest way is probably with a couple of bombers.

Consider banning Grit and maybe Sturm. Sami might need to be tiered up.

Black Hole got reports of an invasion on their half of a strait between Black Hole's and Green Earth's territories. Why was Green Earth launching an attack on Black Hole? Well it turns out that Green Earth wasn't the one that launched the attack... Who is Grey Sky, and why are they challenging Black Hole?
