This works really well. Best to leave this now as it is.

In two minds on this one. Whilst it makes USA less linear, it is such a small continent it does not really matter. Also, you now have no trap point (holding someone hostage to grab there cards when the sweep fails
). Either way is OK but I prefer it without.

This was not a good idea. Best to leave it of. Trying to squeeze it in there makes it almost unplayable on the small map.

In the original classic map, the Americas have3 routes in and out, this one has that already:
USA - Iberia
Colombia - N.Africa
Argentina - Enderby
so why try and squeeze another one in? I would be more than happy to no have a northern route. It would make America a far better place to do battle in. With the northern route, that would become the default route in or out. My honest opinion is to leave this as it is with the 3 routes now.
