[edit] Island Capture - Small

Small consists of a huge island chain connected by shallows, with multiple island bases on the outside. The center of the map is impassible to ships due to shallows, but can be flown over by planes from the aircraft carriers. Only the outside bases spawn light cruisers, so players can expect heavy destroyer fights on this map.

[edit] Island Capture - Medium

Medium is larger than small but has more or less the same units. The most prevalent changes include the addition of heavy cruisers, another carrier for each side, and more bases in the middle. The Akagi-class and the Lexington-class carriers have each side's special plane - that is,the HVAR-slinging F4U Corsair and the kamikaze Zero. The other two - Yorktown and Kaga - sport standard aircraft. This may be mostly a cruiser fight, but the cruiser group that wins will be the one with the best air support.

[edit] Island Capture - Large

Large contains a large amount of heavy cruisers. Battleships will be forced to spawn at the primary base, making it extremely difficult to get them into the fray. The main power on this map is the two carriers each side has, as they are the only source of airpower on this map.

This map contains a rather unreliable glitch for the Japanese side. It has been tested in Skirmish that players selecting a unit from the Mustang pack as his or her unlock, then selecting the second slot on the Japanese side, will result in HQ 3 being able to spawn Japanese units as soon as the game starts. It is currently unknown if this glitch carries through to multiplayer.
