Lab whatever units you think would make things interesting.

Very nice, the only thing I'd be slightly worried about is if the central bases are too close to the
landing points. That would make it very hard for the bases on the outer strip of land to hold a
position on the central island...

Honestly might move the neutral base next to the HQ, replace that empty missile silo. At the
very least, I should switch that black boat to a lander, and possibly make the APC tile a shoal
to create a land bridge there.

Edit: Moved stuff around. You can now capture the neutral base faster, and destroying the
APC gives you a land bridge.

I approve the changes. My attempted playtest of this map never got anywhere (thanks
HorseForker), but it has good potential. The capture phase is pretty slow, which isn't really a
problem. I just wish I had a chance to see how the fronts set up. =/

I'll probably hold off rating until I get a successful playtest. Mori, if you see this and want to
run a test, just hit me up.

I honestly think this is a 9, or at the very least an 8.5. The capture phase is unique but logical,
the HQs aren't too exposed since the APC land bridge allows a base easy access there, the
two airport + carrier mechanic works very well. The carrier really helps to defend the HQ in
general, but the size and shape of the map combined with the supply lines makes copters a
very solid option, since the air defense is a combination of AA and Carrier range, but base
placement makes AA coordination more difficult (But certainly not impossible by any means).

It's possible to wall, certainly, but early tanks, copters, and AA seem to be much more
valuable due to lack of easily exploited chokepoints, although I've seen good artillery usage in
nearly every game as each match progresses. I guess the only negative would be the effect
of mass damage COs on the predeployed units.
