Really?
I thought the first ones were the passengers of the shot-down gunships of the 212th.
nope the rcs and arcs were used to prepare the battle play Republic commando or read the books

The battle you mean is the first one seen in Episode Two, this is the second battle as show in TCW.

have never seen tcw but played rc the scene when the gunship is shot down is shown there two so i think it means the first battle and on rc the first book and the first pages they speak about the first battle too
never know that there were two battles
here the books:
at the first one you can read the first pages online
I know the books and I have played RC, but you still do not get the point:
This is not the battle where RCs and/or ARCs were the first on the ground.
Maybe you should watch the episode to see what I am talking about.

For those who have no clue what this map is based on, here is the summary of the clone wars episodes its based off of, heres a shocker "Landing at Point Rain"
Hidden/Spoiler:
Due to a shortage of clones, the republic hasnt been able to keep large garrisions on previously captured planets. In result, many planets are in rebellion, returning to sepertist rule. Geonosis is one of those planets. Poggle the lesser has reopened his battle droid factories, pouring thousands of new troops onto the the battle lines daily. Geonosian factories are prtected by very powerful shields.In direct response, the republic is launching a massive offensive. Unfortunatly, this time the Geonoisions know they are coming and prepare a vast defense network. In the gunships assault, the republic loses 50% of its forces before the reach the ground. All three seperate gunships with the jedi generals leading this attack are shot down by geonosian fighters and anti-air craft guns. Obi-wan Kenobi recieves injury to his internal organs,preventing him from fighting. Ki-adi Mundi recieves some injuries, but preceeds to fight through the geonosion catacombs with his clone troops, led by Commander Jet, and his flame troopers, slautering hundereds of geonosian drones in the attempt to protect ther home planet. Anakin and his padawan recieves , minimal injuries and leads and assault against a large defensivew wall, gaining a shortcut to the the second squad of AT-TEs that made it to the ground, led by Commander Cody. The first being ki-adimundis tanks. In coclusion The two seperate tank forces met and march to the seperatist shield generater, destroying it, opening up the attack on the factories, but thats the next episode.
I wrote all that by memory, from when I last watched it, last year.

In this case, no.
The Republic sent the invasion fleet right after they heard about Geonosis rising up agianst the new regime.
So little to no intel, no infiltration of critical points, nothing.
Just a big enough army to sweep the surface clean and destroy Poggle's droid factories.
But now enough of this matter.

@Anakin:
I have plans that need some time to be done, and I want to be a first version out in order not to let you wait 2 years for a (in my opinion) average map.

While i agree that the first release shouldnt have a campaign mode, your map is NOT average

No, the first release is the first release, and hence a full version. If I understand correctly, then Darth_Spiderpig is just planning ahead to what he wants to improve upon in future releases of his map.

Indeed.
Okay, I ran into some kind of lack of ideas for the cis side.
For now I have a B1 as normal soldier, B2 as assault unit (or heavy), a Droideka as, well droideka, and a geonosian elite unit equipped with a powerful beam cannon...but'that's it.
So I thought I might ask you for your opinions, so go ahead and post your idea for a side setup.
if you want to, post weapon setup suggestions as well.
