Concept: Vital supplies and intel are located in this heavily patrolled compound's research
facilities. An elite commando squad has infiltrated the sewage system and must capture as
many properties as possible before being found and liquidated. Compound garrison must
prevent loss of assets at all costs.

Settings:
Fog of War: On
Capture Limit: 5
(probably no need for bans since powers will not charge enough...)

I think this map looks pretty cool. Definitely a great (and unique) idea.

Well JS is going to capture the same amount of properties no matter what you try, and do...
OS Has FTA, so he moves his MD.tank to the left side, and his tank to the right OS blocks a
city with his tank, and one with his MD.tank then sends his rockets down, and JS captures a
total of 2 cities at most.

OK - first change is to switch invading team to OS
thanks for comments so far

Just finished a game on this map. I like the concept, but there are a couple of things.

1. Powers don't matter, you'll never use them. In fact I think that the invaders NEED to be
Sami or Sensei to have a chance, there's really no other way that they are going to stand to
that medium tank.

2. It was a bit wasy to camp enough cities with rockets that there were 2 or 3 cities I didn't
have to defend because of that. Maybe there could be more cities that would need rocket
protection. As it stands, OS just defends the West and Southeast ones, and the tanks can
handle the rest. There needed to be a strategic reason for me to move those rockets.

3. In fact, I think that the APCs should go, maybe a base to refuel so that OS can't just keep
them parked in the ideal range.

4. Maybe a Md Tank is a bit too much, unless you first strike it with all 3 mechs, it will still
ruin one of their capture abilities, and the rest will probably get crippled by the other tank or
rockets.

5. Maybe OS HQ can be moved to somewhere that HQ capture is more of a threat? I never
felt that it was in danger because my tank could be close enough to strike it while still in a
position useful to the rockets for spotting.

I do really like the idea, but I think the invaders are bit screwed from the get go. Even an
extra mech to make them a legitamate threat to the defending armour could go a long way.
With a few tweaks I think this could make a really fun and defenately unique map. Keep up
the good work.

@Mechalviathan: thanks much for comments, appreciate it

I will basically do what you have suggested + a couple other things people have mentioned,
as soon as the current games are finished

Changes have been made :D

It's still pretty tough for invaders to cap 5... 4 is no problem though. I may have to shift a city
or
two...

Os has a very high chance of capturing BH's HQ now. 4 mechs + 1 infantry > 2 tanks + 1
mech, and then OS has a extra infantry to capture the HQ.
