After watching some replays/games of other players I think there is the need to explain what the Fighting Chance Script is made for: It's not only possible to play the map with less players per side, while keeping the overall team popcap (PC), just divided by the remaining team members, it's also allowing to play the map in an asynchron way with different teamsizes without penalizing one side. A example: Team 1 consists of 3 members and Team 2 is just 2. The numbers will be as follows: Team 1: PC/player 200, Team 2: PC/player 300. But that's not all, even the resource income is adjusted to fit the new popcaps.

If playing COH2 on WinX I recommend NOT to play this map with less than 12GB of physical RAM as the game itself has a memory leak issue on WinX that leads to a memory usage of about 8GB. For people that are using no or very small swapfiles this will lead to performance drops or even CTDs.

Edit: Based on most recent comments the 64bit version of the game seems to fix the memory issue.
