The issue withe closeness pushes part of their base out of bounds, and therefore invulnerable.

Base built too close to the borderline. Unable to defeat AI.

so i was playing this map and the buildings had no walls

Peura, British Command Post building is outside of the bounderies of the map, please re test map and fix it.
Thank you.

Yes im sorry about that american bug, i made the map before any expansions and kinda got disappointed how they treated mapping contesters so i never updated the map for the expansions. It works but base placement indeed is quite tight for americans

Playing with 4 Americans on this map causes troops to be locked into the base.

summer version please or no ice!

excellent map, great feel, captures the essence of a big, deep frozen lake! Killer choak points.Well done, A+

great map. But the british base will part out of the map line. Thanks for your work!

When playing, the British base will be part way off the playable area making destruction very difficult, almost impossible. Player 6 possion. Otherwise great map.

Summer version would be awesome. But without adding something. Just winter map pluss heat. ;)

Perhaps a summer version?

Great map. But screw the ice! I lost over 30 tanks in one match DX lol

I subscribed , but map doesn t appear when Im making custom skirmish .....

i just love setting up a isu 152 and a kv2 next to the ice and sinking everyone in the entire world. fun as ♥♥♥♥

Yeah, please do the Summer version... and post back in here so we don't miss it when it's published! :+D

Hello, I encountered a crash when blowing up the lower right side bridge, when in repaired mode with demolition charges. Just thought I'd mention that.

Map balance issues: Team 1 has (player 1, 2, 3 and 4 have two fuel resources too close to their side on the southern end of the map). Does team 2 secure the fuel and capture one victory marker at the expense of the two victory makers to the north or does Team 2 may be captures the two points in the north but cant hold and defend because they dont have enough fuel to ensure that their armor can counter the coming onslaught when Team 1's fuel spilling over the brim.

Pls do make a summer version. And there is big reason to continue. You can't just make the map and hope to get 10k donwloads in a week. More than 5k is awesome in my opinion, so keep making these great maps! PLS :)

Its so nice to see ppl enjoying the map ! I was going to, and may still make the summer version, the thing is that even if map is very polished highish quality, it only got like 300 viewers in 6months, untill it finaly found it's way to workshops frontpage and got 6000+ views in 10 days or so...

Point is, its not really worth all the time it takes to make high quality maps if nobody plays them.. i made the map because i thought there is real chances of getting it into the map cycle in autosearch if it wins mapping contest (like in COH1) but that never happened so it kinda takes away all the motivation to make maps for CoH2, nobody plays them, especially not me myself because i only play multiplayer with random ppl through autosearch and if even high quality community maps wont get to that autosearch, whats the point of spending 100 hours to make a proper map... but converting to summer version doesnt take that much time so i might do that like so many here wishes :)

super map

i think this a realy good map the only fault i find with it that the bases are a bit to close but apart from that this map is really good. keep up the good work!!

I agree about the need for a summer version. Would make a very special map as there are not may with combat around a central body of water. Would make for interesting tactics. :+)

Nice map bud, needs higher pop cap and summer would be awesome. Thanks...

Sweet map, higher pop cap, say 200, 250 maaaaybe.... but excellent brudda!

@Exiled Zombie Slayer- That is only one reason! Two words, one reason!

Pop Cap 200 pls :D

@starispe why? The winter maps are my favorite for two little reasons: Blizzard conditions.

I tried to cross the lake and my buddy mortared all my tanks crossing it sending them to a chilly lol.

can you make this in summer not winter maybe?

Fantastic

cool

And a version with higher pop cap

Excellent map, I would love to see a summer version!

nice details :)
keep on making maps

cool

I love the open lake in the middle. Enough cliffs and unpassable areas on the shoreline to keep it from being compleatly open. I had a good amount of battles occure over bridges and crossings, not all focused in the middle of the lake which was nice. Still I did have a few good sized skirmishes in the middle of the ice that were awesome. No cover for either side and exploding shells can take out a tank and the infantry arround it, sending them to the bottom of the lake. Unleashed a barrage of Katusha rockets at a large group of germans (panther, tiger, flak panzer and infantry) and laughed as they all sank beneth the ice, then frowned when I realized I now had to find a new and longer route to the enemy base. Great stuff.

good idea, bad result :(

its a nice map looks pretty cool but its to much froten water ;) can you put in the middle of the lake many little ilands or a litle landscape than you hae the risk of frozen lake and not just the sides of the map to fight that will great!!!

Really like the idea of taking the risk of crossing the frozen lake over the bottlenecks on either side of the map.

Looks really cool. I'm interested in seeing if a summer version comes, where the lake is not frozen over, forcing the players to use the bridges. (big fan of bridge warfare)

Nice idea and really good looking but I encountered a few issues: Some paths/roads look like they could be passed by heavy tanks but you don't get what you see: they are more narrow. This most likely is the case because some objects are placed badly (use STRG+SHIFT+F5 to check blocking). On the other hand some of the pine grooves become "visual only" during the battle (problem is object based but can be countered by using blockers on large wood areas).

Very good map, but could you make versions with higher population cap?

I absolutely love this map, the attention to detail is wonderful! I only have 2 issue with it...

It needs blizzards and the cold weather mechanic! I think this might help you out http://www.coh2.org/topic/10932/how-to-blizzard-in-custom-maps

The other issue is the top-right of the lake itself seems a little bland when the bottom-left has that Snipers Tower, maybe add some small stone island or something for variety?

Here is my map for the contest

So far there is quite little ice on multiplayer maps, so i made a map with lots of ice :) But as you can see there isnt that many places where your troops can land from the ice, thanks to cliffy terrain.

I designed the map so that both sides would have positions which are easy to defend, and there is many safe places where you can build artillery without fearing it being destroyed too easily.
