Cristophsis (Broken) - Found in the Clone Wars Starter PackMap ReviewCourtesy: LoboSteleOnce again, this is a map that does well to satisfy all Star Wars Miniatures enthusiasts. First of all, the artwork is beautiful. The layout of the map is extremely nice as well, with virtually all of the necessary components for a good skirmish map. Although the player who starts on the right has a slight advantage, it is very easy to build squads that can perform well from either side. The broken bridge makes it difficult to reach gambit from the left side starting areas unless you have Flight or some form of increased movement. However, any players trying to score gambit points will be exposing their pieces to shots from just about anywhere on the map. There are also some very nice hair-thin lines of fire across this map, and those who truly master this map will leave their opponents very few places to safely hide. While the openness makes this look like a shooter's heaven, melee pieces can find plenty of ways to advance along the upper portion of the map, and unless pieces expose themselves along the bottom or the middle, ranged pieces will discover that they have to close in to be able to get line of sight on their opponents, effective balancing this map quite well.
This map is DCI legal for 100, 150, or 200 point games as of February 13, 2009.
