I want to see...
Am I the only one that finds this format for GA to be the most boring, and doesn't leave much space for strategy to beat your opponents?
The format I'm talking about is when all your squads are in the same territory. (Added to the fact we have to use fleet's in general doesn't help 😉).
There's no hiding a semi-strong team in the back, hoping that they use up the best counters before then, or the strategy of going top or bottom to see what's behind it. It's simply boring to instantly know what you need to use vs what squads, and you end up with the same matchups as you would always. No room for creative, rarely used teams to wink out a full clear.
This game mode has so much potential to be a lot of fun, but when you can instantly see what they put on defense makes it, well, boring!
Can we please go back to the splitting into multiple territories kinda thing? If you have to include fleets (which I understand I'm biased against), my favorite one was the one where fleets were behind a squad so the opponent has to make a strategy to make sure that they can beat what squad you put in front of the fleet to get to use them. (Or to go the other way if they are more confident in their squads than fleets). It's a lot like territory wars in that sense, which is fun.
That format requires strategy, and doesn't lead to whoever has the best teams always winning. If you can include some player skill in the game mode, it'll always be more exciting.
Please let me know if I'm not alone in this sentiment!
Thanks,

I think both formats should be used to give everyone chance to have a fun.
It is much more of a fine point of, a single large bet, but it has some depth.
Why dont you use the team builder? Saves a lot of time and headache.
Yes ... well I do, except I was trying something a bit different and things just kind of happened. Team comps can be fluid depending on what you expect to see on your opponent's board.
Not my favourite map either, but still:
Only one strategic element is left out. GA is still fun with this map - only slightly less than the 4 zones map. It works still.
But I wouldnt want all GA to be this way, as the variety of different maps is what makes this game mode so fun and engaging. Just a bummer getting it twice in a row
Actually that would goose auto-deploy ignore me
