Solid two player board. The end game is great, but the early game involves a little too much grinding against neutrals for my taste. I think that this leads to dice deciding too many games (although this seems to be a minority opinion). However, if the early game is equal to both players, then things really get interesting. Unfortunately, like most two player games, once one player gets an edge, it is very difficult to overcome if they know what they are doing.

I'm suprised at how little play this map is receiving, I think this is due to it being simulgear, rather than a reflection of the quality of the map.

With reinforcement to any territory, attacking with reinforced units, and battles favoring the attacker, this is a this is a dynamic, quick paced and difficult scenario. The subway connections give this a distinctly connected feel that I enjoy, similar to Speakeasy. The fortified capitals with a bonus make for interesting strategy, similar to what you might find in a game of Castles. The attack bonus makes me uncomfortable.. but in this case I think it is the exciting uncomfortableness of being forced outside your comfort zone.

Perhaps the best aspect of this map is that it is both comprehensible and unique.. everything about this map is straightforward, but no other map on the site plays like this one.

So play it!

Beautiful graphics, solid map. Plays quite differently from the global hordes due to the lack of choke points and the attack limits. I enjoy it with both heavy and light fog, with no fog I feel the map is a bit too open and difficult to control.

This board is a lot of fun, and quite different from the mix. My one dislike is perhaps how quickly a player can shoot ahead with the fog and bonus structure.. however that player is usually me, so...

This board has a very fun and unique style of gameplay, but is slightly limited by the same things that make it interesting. At the start I really enjoyed this map, but as time goes on I feel that I generally use the same strategys repeatedly, and most of my wins/losses come down to how the dice treat me.

However, a refreshing break from both the classic maps and the intense strategy maps I've been playing.

I can't think of any way to make it better, so 10 stars.

I agree with the previous reviewers lauding of the simple, strategic gameplay. Things sometimes come down to chance.. but then this is a dice game. The graphical element is brilliant as well, clever use of fill colors.
