Ditch smaller map time?

Looks interesting TW9.  Guessing countries start out on the main island.  You might be able to achieve a balance of close and far away fields all on one map...  Zone could be individual islands.  Need enough room for CVs to slip through the channel.

Someone will always find something to complain about!:rolleyes:

shift-h, or is it control-h? will enable Squad Highlight, where your squaddies show up as orange on the clipboard. (and in flight, i think) At night and in the eve they look red :p

Easy way to find your squad.

Go to roster find your Squadleader or the squad mate you are looking for.

Then hit the "GoTo" tab and you are instantly transported to the field they are at or just lifted from.

No need to scan the map.

Also I changed squad HiLight to white, its easier to see than the default orange.

But over all I like all the maps. My one favorite is Trinity.

Plenty of spacing to get alt or do a NOE end round.

Some of the smaller map like SFMA (Uterus) as soon as you launch the early warning for the next field over starts the field to flashing.

Thats alittle to close.

Some of the small maps, like Mindinao, are a little too small for the current player base.  It's my favorite map but during US prime time, it's just a tad too small with the numbers that show up.

I'm a small map fan. Mindy has been pretty good this week.

Big Isles wasn't bad either, we'll see after a few times through.

All and all Mindy is my favorite with it's little canyons. Good fun.
