Idea inspired by (read: "shamelessly taken from") Fascelli's map:

http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=64482

I think the map could be work fairly well with some tweaks so I thought I'd give it a
whirl, especially since I'm such a fan of the CnC series (see below). Anyway, the point is
that credit goes 100% to Fascelli for the idea.

________________________________________________________

Basically this is an AWBW version of a mission from a Command and Conquer game (as
discussed on Fascelli's map) and I did my best to make it as accurate as possible. The
objective of the mission is to capture the central "lab" for information and it's well
defended in the game so I carried that over by making lab units important. The RF
artillery/rockets/missiles are meant to be take the place of turrets/obelisks/SAM sites
with some liberties taken on my part for gameplay purposes. Admittedly, I struggled about
what country to make Nod; their units are grey while the buildings are red. I figured
since half the units are representing buildings, I'd go with red- plus that's how the
radar represents them anyway.

For optimal play, the following rules must be applied:

Funds: 500
Weather: Clear
Lab units: Rocket, Md. Tank, Fighter, Bomber
Ban: Stealth, Black Bomb
CO Bans: Brokens, Damage/missile COs (including Rachel, Kindle, Sturm, etc.) Sasha (funds
500), Sonja (for FoW/forests)

Recommended:
FoW on to parallel the CnC mission- only optional because of heavy forests
Ban: Artillery- optional because it's a drastic game-changer. Should reduce stalemates.
BD (GDI) play as Jess, Sami, Javier, or Flak/Jugger
RF (Nod) play as Adder, Koal, Lash, or Flak/Jugger

Personally, I prefer the idea of Flak/Jugger vs Flak/Jugger because it sort of holds to
the CnC game mechanic where certain shots just seem to miss horribly and others hit just
fine (especially against footsoldiers).

Obviously playtesting would be needed because I'm sure this is far from balanced (for
obvious reasons), but I'm hoping this turns out halfway decent.
