A theoreticly "unwinnable" map, but in practice, who knows?. Whoever first tries to
capture the HQ under their control, is then immediately vulnerable to having their own HQ
plundered by the remaining player. It is strategicly similar to 3 people standing in a
circle pointing a gun at the next guy's head, hence the name.

That's not to say though that there's no wiggle-room, since your HQ can't be taken if
you've already killed the Infantry atop it. Just be careful that they don't get scared
and decide to "take you down with them". Winning will require cunning, diplomacy and
trickery.

May the sneakiest win.

I'll give it a ten just to counter balance the one.
Gingerbread Man (10/22/2006 12:03pm):
potentially, one can build a recon..., and protect his base
jhuni (10/22/2006 04:25pm):
There is such thing as unit bans you know..
BASEBALLFURIES (10/23/2006 01:41pm):
interesting concept though
GoldenJoe (10/23/2006 07:51pm):
Yikes. Playing it now and having a buttload of trouble. The diplomacy is very
interesting, especially since it is all unspoken. Still, I wish there was a little more
depth than hoping that the guy in control of your base understands the need to pressure
the indirect opposing army.

Sturm FTW, recons attack own HQ on day 2, but Sami is unaffected. Sensei gets an honorable
mention for corner joining in addition to the usual ownage.
benbever (10/25/2006 07:43am):
Nice concept, but doesn't always work out in practice.
Does make for nice fast games.
Hans Lemurson (11/11/2006 06:17pm):
This map works best when live-chat is available so that you can in fact conspire with your
vic- *ahem* compatriots.

Also, just a reminder: It is SUICIDE to be the first person to capture an HQ, so unless
you're playing with idiots, the games shouldn't be short.
Zoot Suit (11/11/2006 10:10pm):
For extra fun ban all infantrys! But NOT mechs.
Ultra Storm needs more maps (11/12/2006 01:27pm | Edited: 11/12/2006 01:27pm):
So, this uses the same "first to capture HQ loses" thing as

Hans Lemurson (12/04/2006 05:44am):
Yeah, it's a similar concept, except that mine gives each person only one HQ with which to
threaten, and has some gameplay to it.

And I totally thought of mine first.
