Can we get the correct map this time?    It was supposed to be Tankland (I believe that was what it was called).  But we got the one with all the rivers instead.

Have my doubts about no radar.  Radar with 30 second delay was implemented to encourage movement and maneuver in order to avoid have a few people just sit there and snipe people all night long.   With the numbers and how we have been doing things, the person sitting there has all the advantage.  So when this happens, I predict that we will lose numbers when you get sniped all the time.  At least with radar, you have some idea where to look for the sniper.   Look at last week, we had a sniper that got lots of kills and we knew where he was.  I can't imagine how last week would have went if we did not know where he was.

Personally I like to maneuver and sneak on to the enemy flank.  Radar does not allow me to do this, so I do not like the radar either (and I was the one who suggested the current radar system of having radar with the 30 sec delay) BUT I accept that it is a necessity and compromise to make it more fun for more people which I hope will result in larger turnout in the long term.

It was Tankland last week so if you weren't happy with it you won't be happy to see it run again tonight.
Easy in-game again.

The map that was asked for originally was the one that was used when we first started the Thursday night thing.  It was four spawns into the play area with a small town in the middle.  There were some factories and train cars parked there on one side of the "town" area.   This was the map that I believed was asked for.  I do not recall what that one was called, but when I asked about its name, I swear that Jaeger said it was called Tankland.

If you use last weeks map, it will not be much fun for very long because of the rivers and the few crossings available that results in a few choke/kill points for the snipers to cover.  It was not much fun last week and we knew where the snipers were.  If you do last weeks map, I will plan on other activities tonight as I expect it not be much fun after very long.

To be honest, the best map for no radar in my humble opinion is the one with the bridge/2 bridges.  The reason is that there is no choke/snipe point except if you try to cross the bridge.  If you are not doing anything except slug it out, that one will work the best.

Mano - we actually did that one week and it was a blast!

To respond to gyk, I believe the terrain you're talking about is avaeto. The custom city at Luxemburg is the one with the factories, city and residential buildings with the rail yard on the east side. The spawns are from 122 and 127. It's been quite awhile since it was used.

The AVAETO map will work better for the M8 battle.
