Bulge has a new map

[Oldman731]

Easyscor and Soda pointed out that we have a nice new map, Ardennes08, perfectly suited for this setup.  You'll find many more vehicle bases as well, for those so inclined.  Come check it out.

The new MOTD:

THE LAST WINTER

As the Battle of the Bulge plays out
its brutal, frigid conclusion, the
implacable air armies of the West
continue to pound the Thousand Year
Reich into rubble.

Notes:

The omission of the rocket and jet planes on one
side, and the Tempest on the other, is intended
to reflect the fact that these planes came into
more common use somewhat later in the winter (as
well as for purposes of playability and balance).

Yep this is a cool map with LOTS Vbases so close you dont even need spawn points.

Last night they wernt enabled. Did they enable em now?

[B4Buster]

I did a GV scenario on this map before, was absolutely amazing

I dont know, I just checked out the map off line and saw they were there.

[B4Buster]

furballed in it for the first time last night, was a blast, the close bases kept people from climbing too high, and fights were pretty steady

[Anaxogoras]

Yes, I had fun last night.  A more mountainous part of the map would be interesting, too.  Sometimes I could almost see the enemy at their own base just after taking off last night!

[B4Buster]

I think the map's good the way it is, wish it were used in the MA

[fudgums]

People would complain how its only 2 countries. Then get the 3rd country and start taking bases.

otherwise I totally agree

[Steel]

I would love to see a two sided map in the MA with Axis planes flying against the Allies.

Wouldn't that be the AvA with more people?

Unfortunately that would be a mess, #1 and #2 most flown planes would be the 51 and D9, people would do nothing but pick. I meant, I think this map is big enough to be used for 3 countries in the MA, because we DO have some smaller maps used in the MA, this one would be fine, and I KNOW people would like it. only thing that wouldn't work out is the fact that the bases are really close togeather
