Map Description: 
Tight Spot is a TA map where the player starts on the middle island out of nine total islands.  This map is recommended as a skirmish (against the AI) map, but can be played as a multiplayer one (not recommended though - see starting positions at bottom of this file).

The nine islands are connected by a network of bridges.  Each of the outer islands have a few walls for protection against the big guns, but the center island has two rings of walls for protection.  At first there was only one ring of walls, but it became apparent after only a few playtests that the computer could easily lob shells into the center of the island.  The first two times I playtested this map, I got slaughtered before I could build a Bertha of my own.  By the time I had a Bertha going, I was fighting against five AI Berthas.  Not good odds when your town is getting pulverised. :)

The map has no annimations in order to keep the memory requirements low and to make it just a little harder.  Just so you know, I didn't forget them, I just decided not to use any.

For one heck of a battle, try playing against nine allied AI opponents (the tenth player is next to the second player - see below).  If you like to porc, then this is a good map to do so on, but I would recommend that you go on the offensive as soon as you are able to do so.  Otherwise it could be a very long night. :)

For reference, the starting positions are as follows:
				6---2,10--9
				|    |    |
				|    |    |
				4----1----5
				|    |    |
				|    |    |
				8----3----7

I would love any comments, ideas for improvement, war stories, or any feedback (good or bad) about this map.  I hope you enjoy playing this map as much as I do.
