Unbalanced there’s a extra city from acid rain

That give p2 2k income + 1 inf (free 1k) = p2 a head 3k (1/2 of beginning funding 6k) this is balance

HQs are too exposed, a day 1 APC can deliver the starting infantry to start capping the HQ on day 4, (make, premove,
load/move/unload, cap) and can then even bodyblock the route an interrupting recon/tank would take.

Sami can even do it slightly better and have a more resilient cap.

Other than black-boating the HQ, an alternate solution could be to swap the FTA bases? Though I'm not sure if that'd still be
blancef.

I'm not sure that's necessary if you react to seeing an APC with a day 2 AA.

It has to be a day 1 vehicle from P2, day 2 AA doesn't make it in time with APC blocking

please please block the HQs with black boats

Another suggestion to slow down a potential HQ capture rush is to switch a couple of shoals on the path to sea near the cities
closest to the HQs (the ones northeast of OS and southwest of AR), completing the 'wall' of seas there, and/or extending the
'shallow lakes' directly north of the OS pre-deploy and south of its AR counterpart with seas towards the attacking side, forcing
an APC to swing wide around it since it can't go over a mountain.

For the second idea, you could instead put in some mountains there as the blockers, if that works better.

HQ feels too exposed based on many games. It is a map rewarding HQ rush from both side for the HQ positioning
Operation Mechstorm (11/20/2021 11:14am):
This map is terrible, please change the HQ issue.

P1 can cap the enemy property while their APC is built and moves, and still have time to ferry an infantry for a day 5 cap with
the APC blocking the path. Thus P2 *must* build a vehicle turn 1 in the HQ facing base. P1 can then simply see this and abort
the HQ cap operation, stunting P2's cap game for free.

too many choke points, too stally

A good map, forest and Mediterranean sea, perfectly blocking the confluence of troops.

The air force can have enough space to attack the enemy. (The airport is too close to the front line, and most of the time AA
cannot reach the central area)

But this is an HQ cheese, and the experience of playing is terrible.

For me, cannot obtain any effective practice at all

How does this guy manage to get his strongside HQ with a cruiser on top of it "cheesed?"」
　
Idiot, use calculator to calculate the attack effect of two BC.
