Bring back Mindnao!!

What the hell happened to the Mindnao map? Mindnao had a good combination of mountains, water, high and low bases, islands...etc. Let me know if you guys do or don't feel the same way.

I've been to Mindanao, Philippines. It's a paradise.  That was back in 1994  Mindanao now is like Afghanistan :( (stupid Abu-Sayaf and MILF terrorist groups)






With the current terrain we have in AH, I hope they do not use Mindanao.

Ik3, I have Luzon and Mindanao terrains in development... If you have more photos to share and don't mind sharing them, I'd make great use of them as reference material. I need to build new tiles...

Dux, don't forget Visayas :)

NOTE:  You can exclude Palawan if you want but IMO Visayas would make a good MA map if you exclude Palawan

RED = West Visayas
BLUE = Central Visayas
GREEN = East Visayas

The major islands, from west to east:

Palawan
Panay
Negros
Cebu
Bohol
Leyte and Samar

IMO Mindanao sucked as a map.

I've never seen the NW country get reset, S country always gets reset.
It really wasn't setup for GV warfare at all except for a couple of quickly taken fields. Once those are captured no more GV action.

As for the mountains thats fine for those that like them. But give me a nice sea level airfield with wide open planes to chase down those evil enemy fighters on!

You want Mindanao, start from scratch, rebuild it with mostly GV bases in the interior. Big bases around the perimeter, more ports, carrier fleets, etc.

...and thus the part of Mindnao I liked the best.  Leading La7s, P51s, and 190D-9s on a below-tree level tour of the inner mountain ranges.  A long, long time ago on a map far, far away I landed six kills in an FM2 without firing a shot this way.  I wish I still had the film; it was hilarious.

Yup, never had to look for a fight there, the fight came to you almost. Hardcore furballing action with lots of good fights.

Was wondering what happened to Mindanao.  That was my favorite map, just fun all around.  You still working on this Dux?  Hope so, and Thanks!
