Oh, yeah. Sarcasm radiates from Lackey's post!
No, actually, we've had this discussion a couple times since the map came out. He's not being sarcastic. And the more I look at the map, the more I tend to agree with him.
The map IS fairly balanced. Nobody's going to get locked in one side of the map any more than they'll get locked in the Rancor pen or any other map with doors. Anybody playing DCI should know better than to play without some form of door control.
If the Stealth/Cloaked/etc. problem is what you're worried about it, then the map roll/setup rules cover that pretty well and keep it from being too big of a problem (player with Cloaked squad wins map and picks Teth, but he'll end up having to set up on the door side).
Yes, it's a boring map. If it is legal, then people will play it a few times, then put it away because they're bored with it. But I don't see the "balance" issues as any more limiting than any of the other maps we have.
