Power is very dispersed on the map, making it hard for motorized strikes to achieve much. Hell in a Small Place is overwhelmingly close to medium range fighting, with multiple different zones to go to.The extensive forests and single spawn makes it extraordinarily vulnerable to unfair gameplay. It is somewhat biased against the side without the central city, since it is much easier to push into their zone. This makes it suitable to multiple deck types, although mechanized is probably best. Plunjing Valley has, like Punchbowl, three different sides, and its twin sides on the edge are best taken by motorized or airborne forces, but the central area is best as a mechanized struggle.It is however, still vulnerable to a helicopter rush. It's hard to choose a single deck types which does the best for this, since you can easily leverage your strengths if you choose the initiative for each area. It makes for a map where you can have lots of different openings. Punchbowl is generally correlated with two zones, with twin corridors on the left, a central city, and a right side with forests.Artillery or napalm strikes on the opening roads are reasonably common, but a helicopter rush is generally less successful due to twin spawns. This makes mechanized decks the best specialization, although given the wide size unspecialized decks are probably the best as a whole. The reinforcement roads to the other side of the highway are easily interdicted against the northern side. It is mostly medium density forest, although there are some scattered open zones. Highway to Seoul is another large map, with twin spawns and two divided fighting sides.Motorized and airborne decks are best on the map. There are two spawns, which makes helicopter rushes easier to deal with. There are lots of open ground areas, but there is also a central city, and extensive small forest or building belts. Nuclear Winter is Coming is a large map, with a very extensive range of terrain to fight over.A helicopter rush is simple to execute and the rush to the central village is easily targeted with artillery or napalm.

Armored decks are the best for this map, motorized decks being the second best, and with mechanized decks being less useful, although in the long run they can win in the aforementioned forest zone. Much of the fighting revolves around a fast rush to the central village. Mudfight is overwhelmingly open, although it has some extensive woods on one side of the map with a central area which has lots of medium-high density forest.It is vulnerable however, to unfair gameplay - it is relatively easy to cut off both reinforcement roads, and a helicopter rush is a genuine threat. Mechanized and armored decks are the best for this map, and there are a number of different options and fighting areas to go to. The initial opening is important, but fighting goes on past this. Paddy Field has plenty of open terrain, but much of the fighting tends to happen in columns.There are some maps which are more vulnerability to this: the least vulnerable ones are the ones which have multiple spawn points which are difficult to assassinate all at once. The most infamous one is a helicopter rush, where you take a massive number of helicopters and most often a command vehicle in one of them and drive them directly at the enemy base. Although it doesn't pop up in most matches, there are definitely unfair gameplay styles in Wargame.

All other options have various drawbacks, and so a lot of early action on the map is railroaded into this choice.

Mud Fight for example, does have options for pushing in the open field of Foxtrot or into Charlie, or in a very bold and risky move into the central city in the map, the only orthodox move is a rush to the village. There is a selection of different choices which each side has. A good map should offer a capability for a wide range of different decks to fight, while not being obviously artificial. Some maps are exceptionally well suited to some deck types, such as Hell in a Small Place, which is great for mechanized decks given its close range fighting and small size, but are terrible for other decks.

Flexibility or suitability to many deck types.

For example, if you win on Nuclear Winter is Coming in the center of the map and hold on in the other zones, it can be hard for the enemy to come back given the defensive geography in all zones. Thankfully most ranked maps avoid this problem, but a good map should promote a fluid combat. This is one of the more subjective category, but some maps are prone to bogging down in a stalemate, since defensive geography makes it hard to attack. If you control the two central zones as south, supply routes for the north to the eastern side of the map are disrupted.
