well the Bish just won the Grinder, 2 reasons why, Knights and rooks--Knights always trying to take bases on the  weaker less populated country. Knights taking 2 hours to take a base-loseing 3 or 4 to bish-heck won't even defend against bish or rook. so guys come and get our bases they are yours.

sorry Cav58d for hijacking your thread.

I like what Waffle did with those wetlands in the corners by running a river through them and turning the corners into ocean. It will take time to see if anyone hides task groups back there to keep them out of play.

Damnit Bish.  I'm a Bish and that's annoying.  New map should be up for 48 hours straight before it can be won.

Boo to the Bish.

PS-  am I an idiot and did I post this in he wishlist or was it moved by admin???

Must say I am glad they did that. Most of the time I don't care what the map is but if it makes people happier I am all for it.

Grinder was an old map? I hadn't even heard of it, it must have come and gone while I was on a break.

The map name made me laugh though.

Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!

But really,...we thought we had already put them back into rotation. Just one of those "Ooops" things.

As far as I know, there is also a distinct lack of Fester and Trinity in the rotation.   :devil :bolt:

with all they have going on it takes awhile.

in ah2  with Trinity there were 15 maps--Trinity 14--before Buzzsaw and BowlMA 6 with B and B 8 and Baltic and Grinder=10 that leaves 4 to 5 more maps. so if I'm right we should be able to expect more, if there redesigned AH2 map or more player made I don't know-but Bustr is working on another one.

Mesa View and Beta Two are the only small maps not in rotation.

I don't remember were either of those two popular?

Yes!! It was great to see old maps in rotation yesterday. Ty so much for adding Baltic map, it is one of the best map I think. Also bring back ozkansas for both GV and Fighter guys. I think ozkansas will also be popular.

All anyone had to do was ask what went on, and we would have said so, like we did.  It is pretty easy.  When one *guesses* what is going on, more often than not, it is going to be incorrect.

In the days of dual late war arenas, Beta2 was the only map able to make Blue the more populated arena... when it was up in Orange.  :devil  But then, some folks liked it for the GV battles in the canyons.
Mesa View was neither particularly popular nor particularly unpopular, getting some mild dislikes only by the absence of CV combat. You shouldn't get many ragequits by putting it back up. ;)

Mesa View was one of the less popular maps (though I liked it). If Beta Two was the one we always called postage stamp, I don't think it was super-popular but someone always won it quickly so it was a welcome change of pace.

Hoping that Fester eventually gets put back into rotation, it was quirky but one of the best.

Should have just left titanic Tuesday as titanic 365/24/7 because splitting the arenas was the worst thing to ever happen to AH. By the time they made the switch back, 75% of the player base was already gone. Oh well, lesson learned (maybe)


P.S very happy this map is back though.
