	'''West Hills:''' Control of the refinery in the hills ~~at b5~~ is very important and gives it's controller a '''considerable''' advantage. This location puts you in very close striking distance of the adjacent refineries ~~at b4~~ and ~~a6.

Furthermore, whoever has a forward base at this location will quickly and easily be able to storm the hills to the enemy's original base in very short order. Simply put, ''control this location if at all possible.'' Although both BE and NF can reach this point at about the same time early in the game, the BE have an easier time defending it because of tree cover. The east hills are difficult for the NF to assault because of their one ladder access point, so if the NF fail to conquer the northwest, they will find themselves pinned down in the valleys of the map quickly and painfully.		'''West Hills:''' Control of the refinery in the hills of the north-west corner is very important and gives it's controller a '''considerable''' advantage. This location puts you in very close striking distance of the adjacent refineries on the beach below, and it is incredibly easy to destroy the beach-side refs from the upper ground.

	'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_teeth_%28fortification%29 Dragon's Teeth]:''' There are three waterways along the edges of the map that any vehicle must pass through in order to move along the shoreline. In all three of these places, the lowest point in the 'stream' is enough to stall and kill most vehicles. A particularly clever commander tactic is to place small, short segments of wall in the deepest point of the rivers (or a continuous wall, but short segments are cheaper and almost as effective, if not more so)-- '''but do not''' have your infantry build them. Any fast moving tank will cruise into them at top speed, attempting to cross the damaging deep water as quickly as possible, only to get caught on the hidden segments. Even if he decons the segment, his tank will most certainly stall and die in the deep water after it's unstuck. There are drawbacks to this technique: it's possible for fast tanks (jeeps and LTs) to ride over these segments or slow tanks to see them in time. Furthermore, this is strictly a defensive maneuver as you're effectively limiting your assaults as well.

	~~===~~ Waterlogged Ninjas ~~===~~		''' Waterlogged Ninjas:''' The unique layout of this map can allow for very stealthy assaults. It's easy to use the water along the shoreline to conceal your approach to an enemy base, which means that infantry units can create some devastating ambush scenarios. Level 3 Fireworks are particularly deadly when the turret is placed below the shoreline, concealing most of the structure from view. Likewise, the grenadier can execute an effective assassination by hiding when appropriate. The drawback to this technique, of course, is that it takes forever. The map is huge and any such offensive maneuvers must be planned well in advance.

While you are vulnerable to fire from below, this method allows you to get within grenade range or bypass a turret easily and quickly.

	== Infantry Strategies ==		== Infantry Strategies ==
	'''Rocket Sniping:''' The unusual geography of this map presents an unusual and under-used tactic, and a challenge for a base placed on hills. Large buildings such as a VF are very vulnerable up here--something as simple as a grenadier's rocket launcher can effectively snipe the building from across the map. All one needs is someone to spot the building (not difficult considering it's placement), a fairly quiet area to launch from (not difficult considering the rocket's long range), and an ammo crate. As few as two grenadiers and one spotter can decimate large buildings from halfway across the map with impunity (needless to say, an entire team of coordinated grenadiers spread out across many hills is deadly and can decimate an entire forward base in seconds). Walls are a quick and easy counter to this technique for small buildings like refineries and armories, but against large ones retaliation is difficult.

	NF are at a bit of a disadvantage because of this, if an NF commander places the tall barracks on the hills he risks getting it destroyed unless a strong show of force is available to deter attackers, and a barracks is essential to a strong forward base.
