New Idea for ME's?

[Ratzki]

It looks ok, I would move the large flags about half way to wards the smaller flags, so that each side has to move somewhat in order to take the flags and get set up before the enemy can get at him.
Also, I try to not get too hung up on an even placement of flags, but like to place them where it makes sense that they would be, eg. like a clump of trees on a hilltop with a good LOS to lots of points on the map, or a heavy building, or a ridgeline, and the list can go on. I think that players like to fight for flags that have some significance to the battle.
I do not try to make the map equal for both sides, but do give each side some cover in the beginning. If each player gets a chance to look at the map before buying his units, then it really does not matter if one side get some better ground at the start.
