Hmm. Interesting, but rather cramped on all three fronts, to the point where I'm slightly worried that it will
stalemate, because all it takes to defend is an arty + some infs on each front. Tanks can't make any sort of
progress because they can be bogged down by infantry, and possibly even mechs since the space is small
enough and the supply lines are short. The copters might help with that but I'm not too sure how much.
Personally I'd remove the centre mountain and open up each front a little, possibly by removing the two-
mountain clump along the top and bottom.

Given the rather heavy terrain around OS's northern base and the lighter terrain around BM's northern base, I'd
say the fronts will develop somewhere around the two mountains on the top and bottom, and probably
somewhere around the centre mountain in the middle. As it is I think it's slightly too easy for BM to place an arty
on that city 3S, 2W of the northern comm tower, which would exert a lot of influence over the centre. It's difficult
to dislodge it once it's there, since BM will have an easy time supporting it thanks to the light terrain around his
base. B-copters won't work because AAs can easily reach that square from way back in BM's camp. This
could be fixed by lightening terrain around OS's northern base and making it heavier around BM's northern
base, or by connecting that city to the central front via a land bridge and adding a shoal left of it to provide more
squares for attack.

As the map is, I'd say Sami, Lash, Kindle and possibly Rachel are overpowered, the first because her mechs
can easily reach the front line and her infantries dominate the cramped spaces, the next two because they
cannot be easily pushed off vital contested cities on each of the fronts, and the last because her missiles will be
devastating against a confined army. The edits should help fix this slightly.

Overall I think it'll be a great map once you've edited it slightly, with nice options for front-switching. and difficult
deployment decisions to make. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback, edited it to lighten up the terrain on the ares specified and to improve the city layout a bit
for the aforementioned COs to be less powerful.

symmetry problem: 1 city miss at north-west corner

I like this map but the missing city on the top left really needs to be fixed
