Map overview
Game:	Halo Wars
Location:	Unknown Forerunner Installation.
Terrain:	Canyon Savanna
Gameplay overview
Recommended number of players:	1v1

Blood River is a Halo Wars map included in the Historic Battle Map Pack. It is playable on 1v1^[1]. It features a forest environment with a river running through the middle, creating two choke points at an energy bridge and a natural land bridge. The map also features two bonus reactors and two bonus supply lifts.

[edit] Strategy

A good tactic is to hold the two bridges; if you can gain control of them, you can prevent enemy ground forces from reaching your base.
On the other hand, another good tactic is to rely on air units to make the two bridges irrelevant to the ensuing battle. But if the player chooses this tactic, their base is vulnerable to a large-scaled ground assault.
Both bases are situated on top of hills, so long range units can annihilate enemy forces coming up the hill if put in the ideal locations.
There are supply elevators located next to both bases, they are a good idea to garrison as they also act as a good defensive position.
