Tourney in the works... CM:Infection!

First off, great map, if nothing else, it should find it's way to the map section.
I think that you would have to break the map down into smaller chunks(rounds) with the finalists playing on the head(brain) map for the championship, as it has been stated, the number of units to play the map as a whole would be too large.

You'll notice that I have done this already with the Russian setup zones.
Zone 1, the gut, will feature very weak preplaced units. The battle fought here will merely be a small delay with harassing defence.
Zone 2, the organs, will feature moderately effective, highly mobile forces. The battle may play out more like a meeting engagement.
Zone 3, the Head, will feature strong Russian defenses. This may be a typical attack/defend battle.

I would like to keep the map in it's entirety, with these three different setup zones to give each zone it's own flavor.

The map is 800x2400, which is not unmanageable for a single battle.

Another question:
How many turns would be appropriate for this map?

Mikey,
What a novel idea! :)
Nice work on the map. Must of taken you ages to work it out cheers

Only way to get a rough idea about the amount of turns etc is to play test it against another player and take notes as the battle progresses. This will also help iron out any errors which might spoil the battle.

HOSPITAL MEDIC - "Doctor House, perhaps you can offer a diagnosis on our patient, he's a white male in his early 20s. He complains of several weeks of increasing nausea and vomiting. He states that the last few days he hasn't been able to keep anything down. He states that he has severe pain in his mid-epigastric region. He also complains of some diaorrhea and reports his last few stools have been blood tinged; he describes it as bright red blood.
His social history includes an arrest for possession of cocaine. He also smokes about a pack a day of cigarettes and drinks heavily
We ordered an EGD and a colonoscopy. We also got an ultrasound of his abdomen with attention to the gall bladder. We checked his pancreatic enzymes. We ordered stool guaiac x 3 (checks for blood in the stool). Of course, we checked a CBC (complete blood count) and BMP (basic metabolic profile).
Everything was normal with the exception of the following: a small nodule was found in the stomach and another one in the colon. Both were biopsied; however, neither was the source of his bleeding. He was also found to have internal hemorrhoids which were enlarged. His stool guaiacs were all positive for occult blood. H. pylori was not checked, mainly because in the presence of an EGD, it doesn't offer any information.
Any thoughts or suggestions?"

DOCTOR HOUSE - "He's just a time-wasting crackhead, get him outta here! Next!"

Sweet idea for a tourney - looks like a lot of fun. Would you call it "semi-historical"? :)

I think BT is right, especially on an attack/defend, you almost need to play it a few times to know what works on turns...
