    What's shaking, everyone? I'd like to take a moment to present you with what will be my second submission to the ForgeHub community, Loggerhead.

    Ever ponder what it would be like if Sidewinder and Beaver Creek got drunk one night, messed around and spawned an offspring of their own? Well, wonder no more! Loggerhead is an interesting marriage of the two: Terrain familiar to that of Sidewinder, but on a scale more closely relatable to Beaver Creek, though not quite as small.

    Think of it as an interesting medium between the two. Red and blue teams each have their own respective bases located on opposite sides of the beachhead and are separated by natural geometry. Jutting out of the furthest banks just past the creek is a communal base that houses the board's lone sniper rifle. Its tower provides excellent sight lines of both bases, though leaves campers relatively exposed.

    The map isn't symmetrical, but it's close. Each base has the exact same entry points as its counterpart, though red base is clearly on higher ground and is slightly more condensed. Blue base, on the other hand, is more spaced out and relaxed, but suffers from being lower and further back from the action. Both structures feature a mongoose and warthog in this current build, and the communal base is within walking distance of the map's only ghost. All of this, however, is subject to change based on the results of the board's initial playtesting.

    I'm excited about this board - I'm even considering submitting it to Bungie's Forge contest. But, ultimately, my rendition of Boarding Action, which I've already submitted here (albeit prematurely) is still top priority. I released Boarding Action 2 (now tentatively named "Abandon Ship") initially as an Alpha, but now have prepared a Beta version which will likely go to the TRC Guild before its final release. Once it is completed and that baby is put to bed, though, all of my attention will be focused on Loggerhead's completion.

    Be that as it may, I still wanted to give everyone a heads up as to what is next. I'll keep you posted!
