The strats were that way for a reason back in the old days...don't remember why but it is what it is. The map was a great addition at the time and IF updated to current map stuff I am sure that it would fill in nicely and be a great addition to the rotation.

Why are all three strats inside one country?  :headscratch:

Looks good. Still wondering about the strats . . .

Ignore the strats on the screenshot. It's a very old terrain that I just did load into the current AH version. The conversion to the new system did simply mess the strats locations up. They are now not where they would have been in the days of old (zone system)

I didn't like the starting setup of this map, the bases were too far appart. Also being forced to go to the next base in the row kindof removed the fun of the MA that is found in improbable and often non symmetric base configurations.

This was a good map.

I dont remember its name But I think the nicest and most beautifully rendered map I ever saw was that one tropical map that had pearl Harbor and all the Atolls

lmao

it was pulled out and not updated because the airbases were closer than standard 25 miles.

also gv spawns were timed at 5 minute drives so even though you sound like a gv type your travel times on festerma to the target were timed to match aircraft travel times.

as for linear gv spawns it was a design decision.

that is ozkansas. I made the ozkansas map after i made festerma and 13th tas asked me to name it after their friend ozkansas who passed away. it is still in rotation but it lost all the pacific scenery and tiles i put on it in its origional ah1 map version when it was updated.

Fester always made the best Maps, HiTech should hire his services to create a new map pack. :aok

I miss the old "Furball Lake" map, can't remember the given name but the middle resembled the DA's lake.

What I liked about Festerma was it funneled opposing sides into each other (at least until they had captured enough bases to break out into the open. ) The whorde groups couldn't help but run into each other, and the gv guys could play in the tracts, largely unmolested by planes  would had a fairly long flight to start their griefing runs

IIRC this one was made by F6bomber and tested by the 9GIAP  :aok

Yeah I never do gv's thought, and you nailed it it was the linear aspect of the map that annoyed me. But then I was a base taker, now I'm a picker so I should have fun if it comes round again  :cheers:
