Also, is this map regular conquest? seems like it would play out just fine that way (judging by the minimap)
or is it tweaked a little like the counter attack mode on Sidi Rezegh? i.e. americans get a ton more tanks or something once a certain # of flags are captured?
The map had a German attack and American counter-attack phase. The German attack lasts until they have captured Kern's Crossroads, whereupon the US team receives reinforcements for their counter-attack.
To win as Germans, you need to capture all the flags and then hold off the US counter-attack. You need to do this quickly, because the longer the attack lasts, the more tickets the US will be given for their counter-attack. To win as the Americans, you must either hold off the initial attack, or if that fails, you must succeed in the counter-attack and recapture Kern's Crossroads and Sidi Bou Zid.
