Map name: Port Bavaria

Location: German part of the Alps

Game mode: Conquest: Assault Lines

Map description: We're fighting in a Titan resupply station built on a slope of a mountain. The map is divided into two parts too. The first one is a small forest in the north, and the second is a military base in the south. Struggles take place only in the second part, just because of the flags that are in there. The base has a specific layout, that allows the infantry to move unnoticed between the buildings and containers. There are also some wide roads, so there is no problem with moving in a heavy vehicle. There are some Titan docks in the northern part of the complex. They have been designed for infantry fights only. Apart from the slope, the map is quite flat. There are only some faults near the borders of base.

Analysis: Huge green circle in the south marks the military base, where the abilities of using heavy machinery are quite satisfactory, but the fight itself is a bit chaotic. Small green circle in the eastern part of the map marks the most important Titan dock, as it is a spawn point for the Goliath. At the entrances to each dock, there are points [1], [2] and [3]. They have one common feature - fights in there are often at a deadlock. This is a real tug-of-war situation - none of the teams grow so strong to overrun the enemy quickly and move the battle to other part of the map. That is why - among others, of course - soldiers use there weapons that require precision - assault/sniper rifles and rocket launchers. EU starts in its base [I], but Europeans abandon it after capturing one of the Titan docks. That's because there are only APCs at their base, so it is impossible to drive into the enemy Port Bavaria. PAC has its main flag in point [II]. Hachimotos and battlewalkers respawning there will surely help in defending some of the control points in the complex.

Strategy for EU: The beginning looks always the same - the whole team must get into the APCs, drive near the Titan docks, launch the assault pods and land inside the enemy's base. I advise to attack the eastern dock, as it is Goliath's spawn point. Controlling it will greatly help in assaulting other flags. Infantry should go and attack other Titan docks. This will prevent the enemy from respawning in the northern part of the base. Moreover, these flags give additional heavy machinery (extra battlewalker). Every single vehicle should take care of the control points that are situated in heart of the complex. The enemy has battlewalkers at his disposal, so I advise you to send a Goliath with a pack of Engineers to the battle. The opponent will probably try to get unnoticed to the docks and capture flags that are there. I would be a nice (and nasty) idea to leave there some anti-personnel mines. Most of the battle is just walking or driving from one lost flag to another in order to get them back, so if the team will have good intelligence (Commander - do your job!) and the soldiers will react fast, the victory is almost certain.

Strategy for PAC: Your first objective is to defend the docks. EU needs them more than anything else, as they let them to send reinforcements more quickly. Moreover, the eastern dock gives them the Goliath, so EU forces will probably throw there everything they have. At the beginning, vehicles will be completely useless; only infantry counts. Dock's construction gives PAC incredible advantage, which with the usage of mines and grenades, should stop the EU there for good. Commander has to scan the battlefield all the time and pinpoint enemy soldiers trying to attack flags inside the compound. If EU forces will try to do so, a Hachimoto should do the job really well. If the enemy will manage to capture the docks and move the battle to the southern part, use battlewalkers in the fight. Their task is to stop enemy walkers and Goliath on their way to the flags. Small groups of infantry may go the docks without being noticed, but beware of the EU APM mines!

Titan mode:

The fight in the Titan mode looks a bit different. Above all, we've got here some silos in the northern part of the map. Green ellipse marks the region of APC and infantry fights - these are the only types of units struggling there. I have to add that infantry I mentioned is more like single soldiers airdropping there. About fights in the south: they're quite similar to these in Assault Lines mode. Only "similar", because we may use here air transport vehicles. I advise to fly over the green polygon marked on the map above. This will let the crew to fall inside assault pods and land right next to silos. Better don't move the Titans, they shouldn't be exposed.
