New mission Forest Base and deployment explanation

Forest Base is a new mission that will be launched soon. It's themed as a small military complex in a dense forest area, with small paths crossing the terrain. It's laid out across 2x2 sectors, with a total of 6 Victory Zones.

This mission will be used as a test bed for the public missions, as it is a bit larger then Crossroads, which easily gets cramped with a few players in it.

Here are a few screenshots from the mission:



So, how does troop deployment work in the game?
In Solo Missions, troop deployment is automatic, so not much to mention there.

First of all you deploy troops to a specific mission. This is done through the web interface.
Once the troops arrive at the area (instant), you launch the mission, and go down to Sector level. Any undeployed squads will have a darker button than the deployed ones. Click it to be able to see deployable tiles. These are marked with a green ring on the terrain.
Currently, any owned Victory Zone will have its adjacent tiles deployable. In addition, each team has an edge along one of the sectors as deployable, in case they don't control any VZ's.
Click a deployable tile to place your squad there!

To move your troops out of a mission, there are two ways. Either using a med-evac, which works from anywhere in the sector, or by standing next to a controlled VZ. The option to "Undeploy" will now appear in the action menu.
