Hi,
please take a look at Ares, a large 240x96 map for combined arms warfare. Both ship and land asset play a vital role to secure ore and oil recources spread out on the map. Note that it is imperative for maps like these not to neglect naval forces.

Ares Revision 2
The southern part of the map features land warfare and the space for base building. On the northern half of the map a chain of island can be found that allow the building of remote shipyard and oil derricks. Note that the smallest islands do not allows the placement of construction yards. Most if not all of the landmass should be reachable by heavy ship ordnonance. Player starting positions are marked in white.
The following changes have been made to the rules to improve gameplay:
Have fun!

Please give feedback on gameplay, version of the map used, number of players etc. Were there enough recources? Any problems with gameplay?-- Oil Derricks have a lot (1500) of hitpoints, heavy armor, can be repaired with both building repairs and engineers. The best way to destroy them is artillery and C4.
-- Mine layer effectivity has been reduced. The AT minelayer has 1 mine per load, the AP minelayer has 2 mines per load.
Have fun!
