I have one concern, the map...

The map favors the GE force attacking in the center and south sections due to the stream that resides on the east side, with the option to attack in the north. Conversely the SO force has only one favorable attack map, the north. This provides greater flexibility to the GE force, which seems unfair.

South map has only two locations where vehicles can cross the stream (the single ford is bracketed by mud hexes), both wooden bridges are susceptible to destruction. Center map has no bridges or fords. The one non-water path to center is at least 12 hexes of dense wood which will either be easy to ambush or, if taking a longer route, eat up a significant portion of the 20 turns available. If keeping the map, I suggest making the bridges in the south stone while either: a) adding two stone bridges in the center or b) one stone bridge and thinning that wood (see attach edited maps for map slots 333 and 334). Even with these changes, the SO force will have to negotiate choke points.

The individual map sections seem narrow. One possible alternative is to overlap them such that each map section is 50 hexes wide (the center would lap top and bottom maps by 5 hexes and the top and bottom would lap the center map by 10 hexes). This could meld well with transfer of forces between Commanders.

Other tournaments seem to land there too and I bet that will cause some extra attention and maybe some more players.

Here is the roster so far:

Buckaroo
Air Master
SaS Troop
Roman
Ratel
KAreil
BigDuke66

I'm working on the map now. If we can get one more team member then that would make 4 sectors on the map so if anyone else is interested please let me know.
