Dear Sir

While one understands that a seasonal price increase around the Christmas Season is quite normal, indeed almost traditional,
I must protest most strongly the recent exorbitant price increases from the Terp Growers Federation!

There is no possible means for the man-in-the-street to keep up with such blatant price gouging,
and if they persist in such egregious exploitation it will only escalate into an Inflationary Cycle
of the most terrifying scope.

Please address this matter with utmost expediency, or we shall be forced to resort to exposing this debacle in to Popular Media.

Yours
Terence Reginald of the Order of Landowners of Lancashire.

P.S.
Might I also direct your attention to the chronic shortage of Nullifiers in the local market?
It is a disgrace, I tell you!

But seriously folks...
This is a very good map, I don't know why people score it so poorly.
A solid and challenging but not excessively nasty start,
followed by the daunting task of suppressing but not eliminating the enemy in all of his locations.
Strangely enough, the primary limitation ends up being floorspace, to build enough reactor farms.
(and in my case, flame retardant to spray on my poor computer)

One tricksy drop-in-and-snatch to get the nullifier, then a reasonably fast conquest.
completed in 37-ish minutes, lots and lots of room for improvement.

And it teaches us to check the price of Terps, before buying one and only much later on wondering when the friggin thing will get build!?!?

Funny stuff you wrote up above. :)

I played about 10 minutes worth and enjoyed getting in control and preparing to start the charge.
I thought the layout and placement of targets and assets was good.
After thinking through the options for attack, I realized it was going to take way too long for a (mostly) slugfest operation and quit out.
I do hope the map maker continues and will look forward to new challenges.
Thanks,
H

One of the faster "slugfest" maps...at least for me.  I was surprised to get the top score on this one.
