Thanks for the support guys, In the next few days i will be revamping it abit . . I have made the center of the large island moutainous, so fighting will be more funnelled , i'm also going to add *MAYBE* a cave system.
I do like the idea of swamps and little islands, but i'll compramise and make one of the south sections more island-y ( you haven't seen the WIP's) I'll make one island swampy . .
I have pretty much got ride of the reef as it presented too many possiblities for issues etc. . .

Work on the lines of sight. The problem with wake is you can see everything from everywhere (practically) which is *really* hard on the team that doesn't have scopes. So just with a combination of terrain and buildings, you could make it so the scoped team can't just sit back and dominate too easily.

why not take A? we already have these poster-like beaches all over the place and i think it could play out cool.

A.
I like the stormy weather.
Can you make the sea harsher?
B looks too much affected to me.

Why not just a simple base if all say silo already been done on Op Baracuda.
I am sure there are little harbours and bases on small islands like that. And I certainly know that because I was once in China (on Hainan) and there was a little military base on a very small island next to Hainan.

Definitely A. Looks unique. You should also make the water color a bit darker to fit the sky texture and overall lightning.

definatly A, and about the choice of a ship for the ADF, there are 2 new Canberra class ships being developed for the RAN, they look a bit like Wasp class assault ships and are due for service in 2012. hava look
Canberra class amphibious assault ships - Armchair General and HistoryNet >> The Best Forums in History
i was thinking the kanimbla might be a bit small for PR, this can carry a whole battalion of troops

A for sure.. but it does look like a typhoon/cyclone is about to hit

Cyclones are funn =D
Chuc is it A.O.K if i can use those insergants of yours??
also , i decided to fragment the second island , to try and bring in island hoping and water as more of a transport system . .
Is it possible to give the malita a civilian helicopter?
At the moment the ADF are going to start on one beach and on a ship near the edge of the map , The beach is going to be extremly lightly fortiefied.. its the players jobs to keep it that way as they will be able to spawn on it for 4 minutes . . before it goes ( simulating the helicopters have already dropped off troops)
Anywhooo
A it is =D
Just testing it out now . .

nice choice on A, later on you could always make a second version of the map with differne assets an stuff for "day 2" of the battle or whatever

(I really wish mappers would do that lol)
all you really need is for someone to model some better boats
