A map where you use pre-deployed cruisers to heavily annoy your opponent.

Very cursed - I love it. Tank order is off though (assuming the Cruisers block 2 harbors on each side - you should get ABAB then if I'm not mistaken). Also, the Infantry from the bases get bunched up and congested so it might actually be better to baseskip anyway. Opening choices also seem quite limited - I think you either go Arty to get rid of the Cruisers (that gives your opponent a bunch of charge though) or you maybe go T-Copter to bypass the Cruisers. Anything else seems a bit subpar early on.

"Fixed" the map by making it more cursed and having a high income start.

- Tcopter openings are probably the most common openings so the cruiser beer holder gets unsqueezed. There's hopefully
very limited RPS due to cruisers serving as spies. There should also hopefully now be some amount of nuance, since you
can either go for the side contested properties or the "safer" properties, and mix it up in your opening. You can mix it up with
a vehicle, or a bcopter if you want to build more infantry.

- The cruisers are slightly unsafer now with nowhere to hide, meaning a hilarious arty shuffle between the shoals and the
middle of the beer holder can bully them and dictate where they are forced to go. The sacrifice is you don't send your arty
forward and lose tempo at the cost of unsqueezing the beer holder.

- The map should hopefully play nicely even after the cruisers die, with some lovely contested contested properties to fight
over and hopefully some cheeky flips if your opponent forced you to shuffle in a single direction.
