A Little Commentary and Strategy on Select Maps (i.e. maps that OGUN plays well on). All are official WW maps. The maps in bold are current quickmatch maps.

Read well, read often, but by no means take everything here for granted. Provided are only skeleton guides. If you have a strategy to contribute, please do so!

Currently, we offer full strats for: The Alamo, Isle of War, Little Big Lake, May Day, South Pacific, and Urban Rush. There is a "strategic summary" for every other QM map. We hope to provide strategies for all QM maps by the end of this summer.

All other pages will have a mini-site. If the map is in the third section (maps that suck), it'll probably never have a full strategy guide.

Several pages include unique builds that are captured on screen. Be sure to check those out. They were all captured in Skirmish mode (and on super fast speed...most took less than 2 min), so you can say they're hastily done. But they give a general idea.
