This map looks totally awesome. I'm trying a game on it.
9/10 for the brilliant concept. :D
I also like how the APCs can refuel you so you don't have to worry about fuel. :D

Damn dude I'm so confused.

This map, honestly, took me by surprise. At first, it looks like a big joke... but as I played on it, the
deeper strategy was impressive. Do you grab an early BCopter and free your units? Do you
focus on the center island, or develop the wings? I enjoyed the moment when I used my
fighters as a barrier, then let one get AA'ed to join them together and have a needed fund boost.
Definitely an original, and very fun to play. 10/10

I was quite pleased with it too. I wish we could change the HQ to a lab to deal with any FTA
issues from initial funding though. It is some pretty close-quartered fighting on the wings, but I
don't think the map stalemates easily. The funding is enough for a battleship and the preowned
air units provide a nice twist also. I'll give it an 8/10 for now, probably a 9/10 if the FTA issue is
fixed.

has anyone really played on this map? I'd like to see how the fronts is developed. It
seems complicated to me at first glance.
amigo123 (09/25/2014 11:31pm):
wow, terible map
Meta Rexy (11/03/2014 12:47pm):
The main island is important but not critical.
I'd say FTA in being able to put an artillery in the central city on the map. Once you put the artillery there it's almost impossible to dislodge without air units, which take a very very long time to come out.....
The side islands are important too but the real issue is how long it takes for you to cap other cities on other islands.

APC on water is the pipe-seam on land an effective blockade. Original Idea, I approve.
ichbinsehselber (07/27/2017 03:37pm):
This map looks very interesting.
Are we seeing some STA here? BM moves first on 2 bases, BM on 1.
Before my first test game (9/10)

How did make APC’s on sea tiles?
Mint_Swater (05/18/2019 02:09am):
Arty in the central city FTA is not true since a Mech with APC is enough to slash it.

Turbo bomber ruins this map. It can 1hko the apcs and threaten an unstoppable hq cap in
combination with the predeployed units. Needs to be fixed
Edit: One potential fix would be to add more labs to the map. Making the airport island the only
one with a lab means going all in to kill it first guarantees a win. If there were other labs then
they could take advantage of their massive income advantage for being down one airport.
Rock Golem (05/21/2024 10:59pm):
Gee I dunno Witte, I don't see that happening very easily. What if they free their jets too? What about getting an infantry to the island? What if they send an infantry to capture said airport wouldn't fighter spam be a problem for a bomber? What about Global damage? Or even just Kindle. Seems kinda, risky to me. Like it would fall apart if the other guy saw it coming. 22k is a pretty big commitment. How do you stop the enemy black boat from just sending 1 infantry?
