Fog
Equal Income = 28k

Prioritize vision above all else, and try to spy on enemy bases and airports as much as possible. Early on, try to get an income lead and fight over the com towers and cities. Once you build up enough forces, try flipping the airport near the com tower or a base if you can. Also don't forget about the center or you may lose your labs (delete your subs on the labs when you are ready to attempt the capture).

-------------------------------------------------

It started out just like any other night in a new Orange Star territory. Orange Star forces were following the usual process of gathering "support" from newly "protected" cities when some of their forces were found suddenly wearing grey uniforms. Where are these uniforms coming from? Why are these soldiers in grey acting strange? Can Orange Star resist this new enemy, or will they be overtaken?

Might need spies on all bases to prevent RPS, as well as shuffling some of the terrain since mid seems super important, but it seems like a reasonable attempt at MB fog.

It's getting there, but some small problems remain:

- Tank order is BAABB which normally is not such a big deal in fog but on this map it might be (due to the plentiful vision, tanks may play a bigger role than they otherwise would in fog).

- I think vehicles from the corner bases might need to be slowed down just a tiny bit so they can't run down the middle-bottom bases so easily.

- And one nitpick: The corner subs should start at (00,20) since that is the best tile for them I think.

B-ing this for now, but I'll still add it to 'Under Review' since it is an interesting map that deserves some test games, but it likely also still requires edits.
