The Sand River is a Desert Area that has a wide, puddled river running through the middle of it. The river has roughly three useable passes and many strategic areas.
Mountains[]
The mountains to the northeast are for the most part easy and able to be traversed and explored; it also offers very many strategic areas for artillery, tank destroyers, and tank-destroying-mediums/heavies. Because of its strategic worth, it is commonly the battleground for several skirmishes.
River[]
The river is unarguably the worst place to be at at any time; virtually any tank can try their luck with you if you try to use it as a pathway. It is typically the host of the front-lines of opposing forces, since the scattered stones and easy passes make it a perfect place for both sides to hurl lead at one-another.
Dunes[]
The dunes are the no-man's-land of this area; they also provide a rather pesky obstacle both ways for opposing tanks, if they're not on the same side of the dune. The only tanks that do not have this obstacle are artillery.
