Could you put the map up early, so that it can get downloaded prior?  If that is a possibility without ruining the challenge.

Another great time.  :aok  Besides a relatively smaller turnout, the map terrain was excellent.  Jaeger and shipper were great at setting spawn distances and icon display to make the most of the great group of guys that showed up.  I have to tell you, that HTC has done itself proud with terrain cover.  Unbelievably difficult to spot someone a few yards away.  But spot and fire we did! 

If work didn't interfere, I would still be there until redeyed and passed out!

Thanks again all   :salute

The map terrain was HORRIBLE! Too many trees. Trees that grabbed tanks and forced you to tower out. Leaves that stopped AP rounds. I liked the other terrain we were using MUCH better. It just needs to be spread out a little more.

It does look really neat, but, the more I played the more it became frustrating to even find enemy tanks let alone shoot them, and jaeger had friendly and enemy tank icons on.

That area looks much more promising. Pockets of trees are fine. Thick forest isn't.
