Not a huge fan of this map to be honest. It feels way too empty. There's not much to fight over past your 1/3rd mark. Just a bunch of open territory with no mexes or reclaim. Games generally devolve into porcing in the 1/3rd area and some light porc in the mid to protect artillery.

I think the main issue here is that all of the expansions are on hills, which are very defensible against vehicle-type factories, and quite defensible against the rest.

But also in my experience this just calls for some artillery to drive closer, which attracts enemy counterattacks, which incentivises escorting the artillery, which altogether leads to major wreck fields in the middle zone, which causes even more fighting there.
