War - A map for Red Alert

Map Size:96x96

Map Name:War

Map Maker:Robman or Robmann when the first nick is taken

Map Hours to Build: approximately 6 hours

This map features quite a bit of water area and you are fighting a battle across the sea.

I made this map because I was fed up with playing against tank-rushers on Westwood
It is best played with two players. there is no advantage peculiar to either the 
Soviets or the Allies. The first time I played War via Westwood, I played for 
three hours against someone without either of us gaining a real lead. War has room 
for a lot of strategic planning and you often have time to rebuild your forces after 
launching an unsuccessful attack on your opponent. 
It is advisable to build a few transporters and MCV's at the start to try and establish 
bases in other parts of the map. There is a lot of ore on all land masses.
I have not played many home-spun maps yet, so I don't know how this measures up to others, 
but my objective of creating a map for long battles has been successful with War.

I have not quite sorted out the flag-placement thing, but so far the map works properly.
Players are not always expected to build a base on the spot where they first appear. 
You may have to move your units to somewhere more suitable first.
