US Invasion of Melbourne, Australia

A map of Melbourne, Australia. Based on US War Plan Scarlet from the 1900-1946 era, in which the US was preparing war plans to go to war with the British Empire and her colonies and dominions. The US/Red team starts with a carrier and a landing zone in the south, with Australian/Blue forces starting in the north with an airfield and military base.

I have tried to keep the map as realistic as possible, in regards to urban areas, bushland and topography, however I have taken some liberties to improve gameplay.

Plays best with mods that:
Make Raven skin as Australian/ANZAC/British from WW1 or WW2
Make Eagle skin as USN/USMC/US Army from WW1 or WW2
Guns and vehicles from respective nations. I find WW2 tech level is best.

I suggest playing with about 90 bots, optimum would be about 140. For lower-end PC's I recommend removing APCs, MG Jeeps and Quads, and then lowering the bot count. This should allow you to have a good game that runs smoothly, as the aforementioned vehicles tend to "hog" the AI with the amount of seats filled and don't have too much affect on the map's gameplay.

Armaments for each team:
x2 Fighters
x1 Bomber
x1 Attack Helicopter
x1 Attack Boat
x2 RHIB (US has x3)
x2 Tanks
x4 Jeeps
x1 MG Jeep
x1 Quad
x1 APC

Each non-starting capture point (except for the US landing zone in Breamlea Beach) contains x1 Jeep
