This map offers very distinct avenues of attack for players with differing levels of risk-aversion. Very few maps this small boast such a feature. Excellent!

Review by Clint Eastwood on 5/30/2017.
Excellent map. Mobility could be better, though--maybe a connection line between Reynosa<->Merida and/or Tizimin<->New Orleans would help improve gameplay. Because, as it is, 99% of the time, a player has 2 fronts at most.
Also, the water lines around the territories should be widened in my opinion. As is, it just looks like a thin blue highlight and it looks weird. It would look nicer if they were widened and/or darkened (note: the sand is fine the way it is, I'm only talking about the water).
Still, as I said, great map. 4/5. 5/5 if these two issues are fixed.

Your maps are always the best for strategy game. Advice: conquer Florida and Alabama first, use bottleneck and diplomacy cards to concentrate on Mexico. Once you secure the second bottleneck south, it's gonna be a piece of cake.

Review by Keith on 8/16/2021.
Very small, very quick map.
Nothing inherently wrong with it, just small.
It's a pretty straight forward attack map that requires not much defense... just keep pushing forward.
56 total armies.

Review by Wulfgard Martel on 1/23/2020.
You start with 10000 armies per territory and own half the land. The opponents have standard level armies. This is an exercise in clicking across the map with 1% of your starting armies. No fun.
