My two Advance-Wars playing friends and I have played maps like this since Advance Wars 1. I made a large map, made three headquarters like so, and filled up the center with mostly forests. The whole idea of the map is to play it in Fog of War, it is a lot of fun with three human players - my friends and I have not tired of playing this kind of map, not since we first did in Advance Wars 1, when that game was new. It won't win any beauty contests but my friends and I have had a lot of fun playing it. This version is actually slightly different from the version my friends are used to playing. The one they are used to playing is less urban; this map has 31 neutral properties while the more "classic" version I have in AW: DS has 15 neutral properties. The "classic" version also does not include airports. I have both this version and the "clasic" version on my AW: DS game. The pipe going around the bottom and right of the map is actually for balancing purposes, so that there are exact center coordinates in each row and column on the map; it shrinks the map size from 20x30 to 19x29. That said, the map may not be perfectly balanced, but I think that it is balanced enough so that the small imbalances do not really make a difference. If you choose to play this map, put Fog of War on. If you like capture limit games, I suggest a capture limit of around 25. Look closely - it might not look balanced, but if a property is intended by me to be contested by two armies, it is usually almost the exact same number of squares away from the bases of those two armies.
