This is from the scenes in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, where Luke Skywalker (Orange), Han Solo (Green), C-3PO (Amber) and R2-D2 (Cobalt) enter the Death Star to rescue Princess Leia (Pink). Obi Wan Kenobe (Brown) shows up to help and battles Darth Vader (Grey). The storm troopers (White) swarm the corridors in an attempt to stop the heroes. The B-copters are supposed to be tie-interceptors. The grey mega Tank is Darth Vader, the brown mega tank is Obi and the rest of the crew members are infantries.

Settings:

Standard funds. Ban all air units except B-Copters and T-Copters. Teams ON.

Team A = Orange Star + Green Earth + Brown Desert + Amber Blaze + Cobalt Ice + Pink Cosmos
(1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th on the "waiting for game to start" queue)

Team B = Grey Sky + White Nova (3rd and 8th).

Suggested CO'S:

A- Orange Star (Luke Skywalker) = ANDY or JAKE
A- Green Earth (Han Solo) = HAWK or GRIMM
B- Grey Sky (Darth Vader) = EAGLE, STURM or VON BOLT
A- Brown Desert (Obi Wan Kenobi) = KOAL or KINDLE
A- Amber Blaze (C-3PO) = ADDER
A- Cobalt Ice (R2-D2) = JUGGER
A- Pink Cosmos (Princess Leia) = RACHEL or SASHA
B- White Nova (Storm Troopers) = SAMI or SENSEI

**** Notice how the "bad" guys are the only ones suggested to use high tier CO's because they are only 2, vs 6 ****
**** For a bigger challenge, choose Kanbei for Grey Sky and Colin/Hachi for White Nova. Choose Tier 3 and 4 CO's for team A.

Banned CO's: Hachi, Nell, Colin, Grit, Kanbei.

[Choose the pre-recorded settings "Death Star" on the "create game" menu to automatically ban all those units and CO's].

Map FAQ:
- Brown (Obi Wan Kenobi) only has a mega tank and HQ; No base; Can only repair the mega tank.
- The 4 Grey Sky infantries on the corners are sitting on top of bases and airports.
- The Grey Sky mega tank is sitting on top of a base.
- There are 3 unconquerable HQ's: Grey Sky (Darth Vader), White Nova (stormtroopers) and Pink Cosmos (Princess Leia) so their whole armies have to be destroyed.
- The rest of the players need to protect their HQ's as they can be reached from any direction instantly.
- Most of the walls of the Death Star can be destroyed, creating lots of dangerous access points.
- The black tiles allow units to move without movement cost into any area that's connected by the same black tiles.

***** Version 1 ******
Aspects that need testing:
1. Whether the 4 GS bases and airports are too much since they can overwhelm team A's bases easily.
Possible solution: Completely seal the Death Star with seams and have preowned bases; Make the map top-bottom instead of concentric.
