So I think this is quite intriguing but I'd say that the units that can be 'smuggled in' should be changed up a bit - you will always bring in the Missile first IMO just because it provides so much vision (and charge if killed). So I think it would be better if the APC was replaced with the Missile.

Moving the APC onto the first island instead is probably not interesting as an early APC is also a bit too good to pass up - maybe have a Mech on the first island if that doesn't cause issues with the income curve? Because then you have to choose if you go for the Mech immediately or skip it and go for the Missile/Rocket instead. That is a bit more interesting than the current decisions I think as getting the Mech later is clearly bad (but you don't lose out on that much value if you skip it) whereas getting the Missile early is clearly good ATM.

So to sum up, my suggestion would be: 1st island: Mech instead of Missile (maybe change captures a bit if that causes issues). 2nd island: Missile instead of APC. 3rd island: keep the Rocket.

Overall it looks good I'd say, it's just that the smuggled units need a bit of changing perhaps. B-ranked for now.

EDIT: Back to New after changes
