Tongoland

Description
[b][u]About the file[/u][/b]
Togoland was a German possession pre 1914 a long thin country with the British owned Gold Coast as a western neighbour, French owned Dahomey on the east, and the Bight of Benin to the south. Militarily speaking, Togoland had only one asset - a powerful radio station at Kamina, capable of transmitting news of Allied shipping or troop movements to German East or German South West Africa, or to Berlin.

The West African Frontier Force (WAFF) had been formed by the British from units in their various West African colonies: nearly 14,000 from Nigeria, almost 10,000 from the Gold Coast. Sierra Leone contributed about 650 men, The Gambia some 350. To silence the radio station, WAFF forces from the Gold Coast and French troops from Dahomey invaded Togoland on the outbreak of war in August 1914. On 24 August the Kamina station was destroyed, and two days later the Germans surrendered power in Togoland.

This map is basically designed for defending your trenches and for capturing enemies trenches. There is a long hot desert between axis and allied trenches, which may be the main battle area before defending own trenches is the only way to survive. This map is designed for only fixed starting positions, and for your next map I would recommend forcing fixed starting positions by adding
[i]fixed_starting_locations = true[/i]
to map_name.OPTIONS file. In that same file is also possible to set atmospheres.


[b][u]Summary[/u][/b]
There is not much maps which have been designed to trench battles which are placed to Africa, and thats the reason why this map is absolutely worth of downloading!
