Arr.. nobody wants to come out and play.. certainly won't be a game for the faint of heart.. but will be lots of fun..
I was looking at the map again, and using the advanced editor was quickly able to put together a smaller version (170 x 130) as opposed to the original 200 x 160.. what this new map does is move the river more towards the east and shortens the map a bit which brings the entire river inside the defender's deploy zone.. no freebie crossing area for the attacker..
so.. at the north 1/2 the defense has a substantial land area east of the river which shrinks to almost 0 in the south.. makes it inviting for the defense to take the penalty hit and destroy the south bridge.. which would force the attacker to cross w/o a bridge
or move north..
will upload this updated map later tonight..
