Isles map, SE corner

[AKcurly]

Anyone figure out why the country in the SE corner spends the night in the barrel?  If they have a preponderance of numbers, sometimes they survive, but normally, nope, it's their turn to be massacred.

There isn't anything obvious (to me) that makes the SE corner bad.

I don't recall the Northern country *EVER* being reset.

Agree with you Curly, Part of the cause may be no field close to the northern Port, makes defending that port a real chore.

I've seen the Northern area pushed back to the main island, but never reset.

The influence of CVs:
Northern country has two ports on the main island, well in the backfield.  Both have nearby airefields.
SW country has the SE port near the SE country's SW port, allowing for easy takeover. ("contested ports")
SE country has contested SW port and N port has no friendly airfield near it.  The closest one is the small field (10) that's a good stepping-stone for the port.
That and probably the fact that we read L-R Top-to-Bottom.

I do know that the last 3 resets have all occured at the SE corner.  Once for Bish, once for Knights and once for Rooks.  Statistically.. that says alot.

Let's get HTC to invert/mirror image the map so that SE is NW and see if it still happens  

OH MY

The norths supporting islands seem way better layed out for defence.
They seem to support each other well and really deter any further penetration.
The Defending islands in the se start out pretty much comprimised by comparison. As do the sw islands.
I think the maps might be designed from the top down. cause the big lake map is better in the ne then nw then worst in the south. Do they lay out nice symetrical areas at the top of the map and just want to vary the look in the other areas so they end up not so optimal?
I would rather that the three counties were identical.
Certainly they can put the smallest country in the best location after a reset ?

  toejame rolls better down hill. And everybody was trying there hardest to toejame on us last night. hehehe

Just curious, the "Great [whatever] Lake" terrain was really hard for the southern guys, as well....

Usually after several brewskies , MY head seems to fall down and to the right , Thus , making it easier to see the lower right side of the map

Just logged out of the MA.  Once again, the SE corner spent the night in the barrel.

Ohhh, a strategic post. I must parttake.

IMHO the single most important factor in SE corner's weakness is the distance between 10 and 14 and 14 and 11. The distance between 10 and 4 compunds this. For north side, 9 is easy pickings at startout after reset. Fighters from 52 can BARCAP 10, preventing support, while attackers from 53 destroy and capture 9. After this 10 is even easier, having no bases within easy reach for support. True, CV13 can make this harder, but mostly does not. 10 is in turn an easy stepping stone to 14, and successively CV13 is taken. By then SE folds.

S!

 Also one good thing to northern part is obvious.Just get 28 in the early stages so the enemy doesn't have a "launch pad" for their attacks up north.It is easier for the ppl up north defend 28 than ppl from S to take it due to long distance from mainland and close vicinity of 2 ftr fields 45/47.
 P14/A10 are pretty close and this is usually the showdown place for CV ack umbrella/BlueCancer  
 And as the HQ bombing..why not add proper defences there?It is a high value asset and defended only by some 88's?!I wouldn't leave it this undefended.Just give the stratobuffs the "black wall of flak" to be scared of
