Outskirts of Nuenen (4v4)

-------------
Overview
-------------

This is a conversion of my 3v3 (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=958820529) map to a 4v4 map. This map has harvest fields, a rural middle area, and a small dense town. I used a 1943ish map of Nuenun and still shots from the 'Band of Brothers' TV mini-series to set up most of the map but had to make changes for game balance and inconsistancies with the map and the still shots I took. I dumped about 70hrs into this but part of that was learning the CoH2 editor.

This map is good for spearhead players as it takes into account some of its features such as longer ranged battles, troop transports, etc.

Map Tactics
----------------

To the players of the map, there are various areas to contend on the map:
1) The capture areas surrounding the points are larger then the standard area. I made this decision because it makes more sense to hold a tactical area not just a circle on the ground.
2) There is a reinforce point next to the munitions point to aid in keeping it secure and reinforcing your flank.
3) you need to keep one of your flanks secure and the forward position it is parallel to to be able to have the middle fuel within your supply line. I did this so if your enemy concentrates on only the forward position, attacking the flanks is an actual viable way to negate his gain.
4)Use vaulting where you can. There are alot of farm fences that if you just walk around will cost you a little bit of time and it adds up by the time you both get into the middle.
5)Your base is also reinforced by lots of tank traps, barbed wire, trenches, and defensive positions.

Map Changes
-------------------

I have added 4 more points to the map. A standard points and a fuel points for each side. I have made some changes to how big some of the capture areas are and adjusted how much area some of the points territory encompass. The base areas have been rearranged abit to accommodate the extra players and the starting waypoints have been pulled back and/or moved to different areas.

Historic Background
---------------------------

"During Operation Market Garden on September 20, 1944, Nuenen was the scene of a battle involving the American 506th PIR of the 101st Airborne Division and the British 15th/19th The King's Royal Hussars of the 11th Armoured Division equipped with Cromwell tanks, against the German 107th Panzer Brigade. The Allied forced started an advance from the south but met fierce resistance from the occupying German forces."

If you would like to keep it historic, USA and Brits on the bottom (1,2,3,4), Germans on the top (5,6,7,8).

Inspired by the "Band of Brother" TV mini-series.
