Note:

Axis are Bishops.

Allies are Rooks.

If you log on as Knights, you won't even see the map.  If you're like me, this can be unnerving, as you wonder what's wrong with your computer.  (Some have been known to log off and reboot the computer.)  For once, however, there is NOTHING wrong with your computer - just switch to one of the two enabled countries.

AAA: AvA Norms
If by "AvA Norms" you mean the typical .25 or .1 lethality, please turn it up to MA standards.  Also, please add the M16 to both sides.  The combination of diminished ack and lack of an effective AA vehicle are making it far to easy for the vulchers/cappers.

Ground based AA is the only minor equalizer when numbers get out of balance.  Without them, the larger side simply rolls with impunity.

So far I'm happy with the way it's working, it's exactly as intended. The frontline bases are close enough together for mutual support when a base gets vulched. Yes, someone milkran the frontline bases last night and surely must have tried to reset the map. I guess they found out it takes more then a couple of people to do that. Anyway, even so, the fights between the nearest bases were still only around 20 miles this morning and there were some great 3v1 and 5v2 fights this morning before a frontline base was retaken, stuff I'd never have survived against the AvA regulars. If it remains as popular as it's been over these first few days... My only wish is that the sides of the terrain had been switch. The best canyon fights are on the west side of the map.

Few questions about the unlockables. What happens if you only have the Primary Targets? What happens if you only have the Secondary Target? What happens if you have both? Do you get a bonus?
