***************
* Description *
***************

This map was designed for 2 players, although 3 could work. The map has a coastline, surrounding
a central island. The island has resources valuable to both (or more) players.As you will notice,
there a couple of alcoves in the shore, I made these to keep your transports in until they are
needed.

********************
* Tactics and Tips *
********************

The main tactic on this is build fast, get all the minerals and try to make it to the central
island. If you are already on the island, and your opponent is on it too, get off it as soon
as possible, or he will overwhelm you, then go back to finish him later.

********************
* Specific Tactics *
********************

Allied
------

Build a naval base ASAP. Get a couple of cruisers rolled out, and a few transports (You will need
them.) If the enemy is already on the central island, batter him with your cruisers while landing
a seperate party (rather large recommended) on the opposite shore. If your enemy is on the
mainland, then take the island ASAP because it has valuable ores and minerals (gems). Then do as
you see fit.


Soviet
------

Because the AI for the enemy isn't very good, you don't really have to build any subs, but you do
need transports, so build a sub pen ASAP. Get your troops onto the island for the same reason as
the allied. If the enemy DOES build a naval base (They never have when I have played) then keep
your sub pen in one of the alcoves, so it cannot be attacked as easily. The only drawback with 
this is you need to keep moving your ships every time you build a new one. Only a slight drawback
though.


I would appreciate any comments and/or design flaws, tell me if it needs improving. Also, I am 
always on the look out for new maps myself. E-Mail me at the address above.
