"The gruesome memories of the War are no more alive than in than in this tortured piece of land, where pools of radioactive waste scar the terrain and the air is filled with the stench of death."
Each side starts with a fortress that has 5 sockets. The closest outpost is a neutral powerstation that is occupied by 4 Soldiers, it is also defended by a T45 on a socket. The next closest outpost is a neutral factory that is occupied by 4 Soldiers. It is defended by a T45 on a socket. There are 2 corner outposts that are neutral, each occupied by 4 Brutes and only defended by AA units which are a Seeker, a HAAT near the outpost, and another HAAT off to the side. The center outpost is occupied by 4 Brutes, it is defended by a total of 8 Longhorn and 2 Seekers. The map is mostly linear as there is a single path that goes from one fortress to the other, however the distance between outposts is fairly short, thus ferrying units with mechs is a common way to get over the gaps.
Strategy[]
Both sides should be able to capture 3 outposts in about a minute. The powerstation can be handled with just the mech, which gives enough time to build 2-4 tanks in order to use them to help capture the factory. Afterwards, the tanks can be moved to clear the corner outpost closest to the factory. Then, tanks can be safely placed by the neutral seeker where they may fire upon the outpost without any neutrals attacking back. Sometimes the opposing side may try to harass and steal the other corner outpost early. This can effectively end games early as a 2 versus 4 outpost situation is difficult to recover from.
When both sides control 3 outposts, a standard midfight is done for control of the center outpost. Players may approach from either their powerstation or factory. A pair of well placed tanks will easily kill the neutral tanks that are spread out one at a time. The corner and backline outposts are often targets for harassment and cheesing in this state of the game.
