Damn, thought I had given my feedback on this map already
For what it's worth I just got off a round of this today, but I've played it several times in the past. I like the concept, Aussies running to capture oasis then 2 flags to hold in the fort itself, then one more flag. I love fighting in the Oasis because it gives the map such a different 'feel.'
For the times I've played this map tho it seems as if the Aussies are at a real disadvantage the whole time. Pushing into the foliage of the well entrenched Italians is suicide and it takes a lot of good teamwork and a very good mortar man at the helm to get the first flag. I like that the first flag is tough but usually I've never seen the Aussies even cap it. I also feel this map plays a bit too short, the tickets might be set pretty low and the Aussies bleed until they hold 2 flags in Giarabub itself (imo it's a bit of a stretch to take those first 3 flags before you team has anything more than 50 tickets left to the Italians 200) imo I'd maybe stop the Aussie bleed once they grab Oasis.
BUG REPORT However today I was on a good, well coordinated Aussie team and we grabbed the first 2 flags in the fort with about 80 tickets left. We then set about taking the Village flag (the only one open at the time) and then assumed the East Gia flag would be next. But once we capped the village flag, it was over for the Italians. They just started rapidly bleeding as if they didn't hold any flags (East Gia flag was open to cap at this point) and we won about 40-0.
I've honestly never seen the map play out this far before so I'd never seen this bug and I'm not sure if it's been brought to the devs attention. For what it's worth I'd really like to see this map tweaked and balanced in the future. It's a really good and really unique layer of a good map so when it pops up on the rotation when the server is dying down I quite enjoy it.
also, just my two cents but I'd love to see the sandstorm effect from tell el aqqaqir flag in Supercharge placed on one of the alt layers of this map
