A smaller version of "A Hope Forlorn" intended for Live Play.

The bases are still a bit too far apart for Live Play tag I'd say (the distance should be ~21 tank move points between opposing bases, here it's 22 MP from the 1b to the neutral base and 24 MP from the 1b to the preowned one). I think removing the (15,01) and (07,03) forests should make this (barely) Live-Play-eligible though.

Removed the suggested forests + Moved mountains so that preowned 2b base is now 21 tiles away from opposing 1b.

I think this could use at least one more contested city in the area around (13,14) and/or the double cities around (11,16) could be moved forward so that they're actually contested (right now the 2b just gets them in any case since not even Copters can reach them in one turn). I think it's better for Live if there are more attacking opportunities and more contested properties, so maybe the 1b could even be moved forward slightly so that it gets the airport quicker and things can get going faster. Overall the map is a bit slow/stally and there aren't that many contested cities, but that certainly can be fixed.
