A map of the northern hemisphere during the Cold War. It's asymmetrical, so I hope it's
well balanced.

- OS gets Japan and BM gets Cuba for secondary fronts.
- Neutral and owned properties are mixed for a smooth begining. In symmetrical maps, low
funds at the start helps to reduce FTA, but it makes no sense here.
- The city in Egypt was in Turkey in first place, but it was too vulnerable.

Ban the usual five, Sami, Sturm, Sasha, Von Bolt, Kindle.

There is also maps of Europe and Germany during the Cold War:

I like a lot of the ideas here, but with this many cities already owned, Russia can easily
build and anti-air the first turn in Europe, easily preventing OS from capturing their
continental base, and then can soon take over Great Britain as well. BM will then have an
income and territorial advantage. Why not make OSs continental base already owned, and
BMs as well for evenness?

BM can't prevent OS from capturing his continenal base, even with an anti-air nor Sturm
recon. By the day 3, an infantry can capture this base and no unit can cripple it.

If OS resists and stay in Europe, he encircles BM.

I love this map .But when will/did the war happen? America has city in Russia?It will/did not
happen.

Cold War is the name given to the hostilities between USA and USSR between the end of WW2
and the collapse of USSR. It never broke into a real war.

Nice! If you actually know a thing about the Cold War (it already happened, dky) this map
makes sense and is actually pretty sick

America is actually the part which is the less deformed in this map.

It looks awesome! The map is "disformed" because its what it would look like if you took a globe
and flattened it with the north pole in the center. S/He did a really nice job! I'm not sure how
balanced it is (I'm sure its fair) but it looks like alot of work went into this.

10/10
