First of all, have some expirience in mapping, scripting and know what is where on WB, cause im too lazy to explain everything.
Before you make a AOD map, understand that its boring, and it will take very long.
You can try to do this, but if your unexpierienced, then take a Mapping Tutorial First.
------
Step One:
The lay out.
Horizontal Size: 200
Vertical Size: 300
Height: 16
Border: 10
-------
Step One-B:
Select the Height Tool from the Tool List (You know the tool that immediatly raises the height)
And set it to 50
Make two higher lieing areas. this are the places for the bases, make sure you only make 4/10 of the map base area. And leave a little road open for the Teams that have to pass trough
A good map lay out
L = Low
H = High
1P = The AI place

Ok so thats set.
Now the action starts ok!
place some way points north of the map, then draw a route that the Vehicles should follow,to the south of the map
Next
Make another also north, but at the other side, and let it also reach the south of the map.
Then
make another Waypoint, from the North-Middle to the South
----------------------
Give the Waypoint-Paths a label (so do not call every waypoint a name, but give it a LABEL!)
like this GroundPathOne
GroundPathTwo
AirPath
----------------------
The Final Step
Create a Area at the south of the map, where the waypaths end
call the area, lose area
good
open player list editor, and choose Add Skirmish Players
Open the Teams window, add 3 teams, to the Side GLA (or a other)
Make it this
Wave1A
Wave1B
Wave1C
open the Team editor for those
And add some units
Like this
Max 40 Min 40 - GLAInfantryWorker
do some units for other teams also
++----
Open Script editor
Add some opening scripts, with explanation and your copyrights on the map
The give the player some time to build
then make a script called Wave1
Conditions:
Only Active when timer Wave1 is 0
Then Do:
Spawn a Instance of Wave1A at Waypoint1
Let team Wave1A follow GroundPath1
Do the same for the other teams, but at other waypoints and paths
And then...
Add a Folder called Lose Conditions
Add the following script
Conditions
when a instance of Wave1A entered are LoseArea
Then do:
Declare Defeat, and end game
-----------------
Do this for the other teams also
Now you set up one Wave
To add a other wave, repeat from Final Step, only then with team Wave2X (X is the Letter like A B C D, or X tongue.gif)
If the tutorial was not really clear to you, dont worry, ill make it more easier to understand later.
