Even numbered bases run SW/NE with large pond on the NE side of town

Thank you gentlemen, I enjoy working in the Terrain Editor, strange as that may be. It is challenging and gratifying.  :salute

Got to play on it for a few last night before the #s picked up. I think it will be a pretty good map. A few choke points and places where I think the fights could get really big. Hoping this map pops up on a Friday sometime to see it really shine.

Thx JimmyD! Oh and you too Hitech for getting it rolling!

I flew a 47N at 30ft for four sectors to take out a vh lol!  :airplane: :banana:
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Lusche, I saw what you meant about open areas around the Strats, last night. Bombers went off map almost immediately. I will try to make that more of a consideration in the future.  :salute

  This map brought over 140 players to MA on a Tuesday night. That's the equivalent to a Friday at primetime on average over the last 9 weeks.

these players who do this do not EVER make a significant contribution to the war effort and thus should be considered as milk runners even if it is the straps. Although restrictions can be put into place I feel like having those flak bases able to launch c47s is an excellent counter for this map.

Overall, I dislike this feature as it takes me about 20 minutes to resup a newly attacked strat. The time investment versus resupply time makes strat runs unprofitable hence why I will not participate in strat runs at certain times. Kenai77 explained the reason why he designed it like this and although the above statement is where my opinion lies I stand with Kenai77 on the subject and accept it as how it is <S>
