There might be a very soft TA for P2 on this map. P2 being ahead by one turn on the 2b is normal however the middle base
with the lander doesn't really want to keep pumping out units on the com corner side long term. Considering you're encouraged
to mech-chain from the cut-off base, your opponent can't really push on that side cost-effectively.
Because of this, once you got maybe an arty/recon in the corner and most importantly, the mech chain going, you kinda want
to send the lander with infs and recons on the HQ side allowing you to fend off the opposing mech-chain push on that side.

P2 is not only ahead on the neutral base side at the beginning of the game, he's also ahead in switching his strong side toward
his HQ in the midgame allowing him to compensate for his initial deficit of half a turn on that side. I feel this is pretty significant :
as both players are pushing toward the city/port pair on each side, being ahead by one turn on the switch may be very
impactful allowing one player to be able to deny the cap while being able to get the capture on the other side.

Of course, this is rather theorical as I only played a game on this map and I played it very wrong plus this is how I think it
should play out into day 15 or so and a lot can happen before then that would lead the game off track
