The bases are sort of split. The ground-vehicle pad is detached from the pyramid and is a ways out. However, the air-vehicle pad is right on top of the pyramid. The bases are about 1k apart, but this is crossed quickly and easy using vehicles or not.
My suggestion to any players is to move quickly and immediately to the opponent's base and try to get a capture. The bases can be bunkered down very strongly and you may not get another chance at a capture. As "Dr P" will undoubtedly tell you, he gave me a lot of trouble when I was trying to get that flag of his (however, I did own him 3 times in a row with a tank shell and then squished him in between the ground and a shrike right after).
Overall, excellent map. It's a blast trying to get the flag out of that base (or at least it was when Dr P started to cave when it was 2 vs 1). The only qualm I would have is that it would be too easy to turtle and the gens will probably never go down for more than a minute if at all.
