Description:

Since the many Battles that took place on Achillies between NSDF & CCA Forces, the planet has been quiet. This gave a neutral civilization, the Aerad's, the chance come to Achillies to train there inexperienced military commanders in the feild of battle. Terra-Formers attended the planet and created two bases, one to the North and the other to the South. Utilizing a prototype Landscaper, which in effect is a modified version of the ' Thumper ', they were able to create these bases by manipulating the already exsisting landscape's solid rock. The Aerad however refuse to release the secret of the prototype Thumper. NSDF & CCA governing bodies are attempting to secure this secret to their own advantage.

Two large bases were formed both of which contain natural defense layout. A area of flat ground was left down the centre of the ' Battle Zone . This then allowed each commander to have the same landscape and resources at their disposal.Their performancewas then judged by their superiors as to who suffered the most losses of manpower and equipment. The landscape might differ slightly on each side.

Many months of training on Achillies has created a large amount of scrap and in manipulating the planets integral structure, cracks have appeared to form Geysers. Damage to the planet has also raised the static charge and storms are now a common occurence.

The Aerad's have since left the planet, having used there entire military budget on training, they did however leave the bases intact.

 ' The End '




This is only my second map so before you write to me complaining, please bear that in mind.

This has been played by Diceman & I, it appears to be a very difficult map. The biggest problem is actaully getting into the base, although it is possible. All that is needed is some good starategic skills and a shed load of units ( & scrap )

This map has been created primarily for myself and a fellow battler, Dice Man. We are both big on defence and wanted a map similar to this. The map has yet to be tried in the field and I would welcome any comments people might have, good or bad. It might be that the map needs to become a four player map as it may prove too large for two. I am happy to listen to what anybody has to say as long as it is constructive.

My Thanks goes out to all who have assisted me in the creation of this map, including those who I e-mailed asking questions and even though they didn't know the answers, still took the time to reply and told me that they couldn't help. Many people assisted me in the creation of this map, a few names are;

Mike ' Rex ' Reed ( Girlfriend's younger brother )
Zen ( who we all know, creator and administrator of one of the best Battlezone sites )
Mick ' Shimano ' Brown 
Kung Fu ( possibly the deadliest Battler ever with a Hornet Missile )
Cmdr Wayneg
Delboy Dice Man ( Harley Davidson Rider, What can you say? )
The ' Enforcer ' 

and a few others

Also special thanks to ' Slight '. He has created a package that converts 24 bit uncompressed BMP's into HGT files.  The package was used on this file and reduced the build time by at least half. You can pick this package up at all go BZ Pages,especailly ay ' Slights Scrap Yard '
File Name - BMP2HGT.zip

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and I look forward to the hundreds of emails flooding into my Inbox.
