I know this has probably been asked for before, but I was missing it TODAY so here goes....
How about, on the main HTC page, we put a link that just pops up the map in your browser so we can take a look at the state of the war at any given moment. It'd be nice to be able to keep track of what is going on from places where I can't have the game actually loaded (like my office).
In conjunction with this, we could also take snapshots of the map on an hourly basis and then replay them to show how the battle for any given map has progressed from start to finish.
I just think that it would be interesting, both to new players and to some of the veterans to be able to keep track of what is going on when we can't actually be playing.
