one thing that you'll quickly learn is that IS (intelligent Systems, the company that made Advance Wars), is not very good at
making balanced maps, or really good maps for that matter.
Like, take this map, there's too many bases per side, everything is full of chokepoints, the property placement isn't balanced,
there's no set counters to accommodate the idea that some players go before other players, property ends up clumped in
set spots, same with forests, and mountains, the pipes end up being a bad thing, same with the river. and there are strange
long swatches of plains that really serve no purpose.
It's a perfect example of IS mapmaking, but it's not really very balanced or all that fun/interesting. No fault of yours, but IS
remade maps are perfect for explaining a lot of common mapmaking problems.

I used to play this map 24/7, even if I didn't have anyone to play it with. I would play myself.
