The gimmick of this map is that your pre-deployed rocket essentially acts as your HQ -- the map is set up so that you win if you can destroy your opponent's rocket first. You have an artillery to help break the pipe, but watch out because you don't want to let your opponent protect their rocket!

I recommend to ban rockets. In addition to the usual suspects, Javier and Sami should probably be banned. Max should be pitied.

This map was updated a bit in October 2022 to help the gimmick shine more.

It looks like there's a couple of errors with the pipe and mountains on the middle left side.
Unless this is supposed to be asymmetrical?

Looks very nice otherwise, think i'll play on it sometime.

Oh haha wow, I don't know how I didn't catch that. Thanks :)

Its easy to miss things on larger maps.

Note: You should get rid of those 2 mountains in the center - NE and SW out of those 4 central
ones.

After a quick game on the map the only problem i can see is with playing in fog. It'll be a short
walk to the HQ for the first player, an APC a few spaces in front of the infantry should sort
this out.

Ah thank you. I made the appropriate edits, adding the mountain-locked recons. It should
be FoW playable now.

I also edited the center slightly, based on ramdalucksta's suggestion. That should make it
a little less chokey anyways.

I know this is an old map, but the gimmick kinds of ruins the map.
Instead of actually playing the game, all you need to do is hit your opponent’s rocket and you win automatically.
There is no way to prevent the infantry from getting to your HQ once your rocket is at 1HP.
This wouldn’t be such a problem if there wasn’t easy access to the rockets or getting to defend your HQ after your rocket
dies, which then makes the gimmick pointless.

Never sacrifice gameplay for gimmicks.

Arguably you have to play the game to hit your opponent's rocket.
