Welcome back, Jack!

I've completed 3, and in the middle of another 3, if that's an answer.

Maps are what you make of them: it uses standard generated maps, or you can use the "load custom map" option.

They're interesting to play: you can protect your core and fight largely with auxiliaries - but then if your oppo gets a good victory they'll have more repair points, so you might be facing a larger force in your next battle.

And when you take a good pasting and can't repair your Core, you have to be really careful in the next battle.... (Thanks, Cross!)
