I think this one has a lot more potential than I'm getting out of it, but I'll publish it
for now and see what people think. (Read: Crowdsource my ideas)

Edit: I'm considering adding a second airport closer to the HQ, but potentially locking it
behind a pipe seam. Haven't really thought out the specifics, but I have things to
do at the moment and I don't want to forget that line of thinking.

Test game definitely had some problems with HQ vulnerability and with a standoffish early
mid-game, along with a very linear capture phase for the lone base side. The center was
also underused.

As a result, I expanded the path into the center slightly and also added a bridge near the
port to hopefully make reinforcing the lone base side easier. I also revamped the top left
and bottom right quadrants to make the fronts (hopefully) develop better and make the
capture phase for the lone base side less linear, including adding a second airport behind
a pipe seam like I had considered... we'll see how it plays out with the changes.

Made a few more edits to the fronts and added some pipes to keep the airports from having too much
power in the center. Moved to A Rank for now and may revisit later.
