Forest Skirmish | Maps Heroes & Generals Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
One of the three maps designed exclusively for the Skirmish game mode. Points A and C are located near the two teams' bases, while the B point is located directly in between those two bases, meaning that the most intense fights will be taking place right there. The whole map, as the name implies, takes place in the forest, which means that terrains with open sight are scarce here - this map is perfectly suited for infantry. Still, vehicles are doing exceptionally good here - you must, however, avoid going through dense vegetation, because those places are the perfect spots for enemy mines.
Additionally, there are semi-automatic rifles, as well as boxes with rocket launchers at the spawning points of both teams.
Point A
Without a doubt the most exposed part of the map, despite the fact that there are trees literally everywhere around. It's the perfect spot for snipers - the control point is located on an elevation, meaning that sharpshooters located at the control point A will have a very good visibility on other parts of the map. This place is a nightmare for tanks, as you will be exposed to attacks from every single direction.
Point B
The center of action on this map. There are two barns located around the control point, inside which the infantry will find a very good shelter from enemy attacks. Additionally, you can use a pair of windows located below the ceiling, which will give a huge height advantage to a proficient sniper. The barns itself make this place a dangerous one for tanks - don't even think about driving there with one such a vehicle, because you won't be able to protect yourself from anti-tank grenades and rocket launchers (not to mention about the possibility of getting shot - don't try looking through the tank hatch!). If you still want to "visit" this place with a tank, try to keep your distance and fire at it from afar, while leaving the task of capturing the point to your allies from the infantry.
Pay attention to the elevation leading to the control point A. Almost always there will be a sniper, as well as armored vehicles (including tanks) there, allowing them to effectively fire at the area near the control point B. The last thing worth mentioning here is a pair of boxes containing ammunition, which you can replenish your supplies at - both are located inside the previously mentioned barns.
Point C
Control point C looks a lot like the A point - there's a lot of hiding places for infantry, and numerous tank traps and sandbags, aside from providing cover for foot soldiers, will keep every vehicle from coming near it. A good spot to hide is a pair of felled trees - you can get underneath them and the enemy won't be able to see you unless you fire at him.
After capturing the point don't just sit near the radio, because the enemies will soon send a rain of bullets and grenades upon it - especially the second one is dangerous, as sandbags, nor trenches will protect you from them.
