Maybe on that very center island...a tank town?...make them spawn from the other bigger islands.

Speed, I wasn't suggesting that you stop working on your terrain. I was just giving my interpretation about the feelings of existing maps.
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Now i need to take some time to figure out where to place the fields.

Another feasible way to try is to first plan the base locations on empty grid, and only then draw land and water and altitudes.
This way there may be fewer slips in country balances and distances between bases, or distances to HQs etc.

So here's a rough layout..  

Trying to keep the strats together for the bomber guys.  
Plenty of furball areas.
Tried to make sure that there are no dead ends.
Kept the capitals and uncapturable bases a little ways away from the main fighting points.
Is this submitable to HTC?

It seems to me the bottom country's HQ is easier to attack than the other two. Perhaps move those airfields, GV bases, and ports from team yellow off of the island with the other blue team airfields on it?

I can move the blue HQ over to 10,6,4  or

Re-draw and generate the terrain with the island extending into 14,8 and 14,9 and then placing the yellow fields a little further back.

Also the yellow HQ is pretty far away from blue bases.
