It is a difficult map to make any strategic progress on, and therefore a challenge to those of us who like to play the strat game. The number of fields and the distances, etc. absorb the force of the "steamroller effect" that some people complain about.
I don't WANT a map that can be won in a few hours of play, I want a difficult campaign that is won or lost through coordinated effort over time. Pizza provides that, unlike some other maps.
