Yes, it's a suck ass drawing.
-Both bases are elevated, plateau kinda thing.
-Bridge going from one base to the next, with Guard Towers and Turrets running along it.
-Main Field, two 'bubbles' connected by a narrow passage, field surrounded by a wall, mountain, or maybe just an insisible barrier.
-Surrounding the Field/Bases is just Water. Non traversable, just to fill space.
So, it's kind of like an Hourglass, City, and Islands together. Maybe take place at night.
How does it look?

Interesting base layouts, but the secondary patht that goes behind both bases seems to be undefended by the defense structure. In that case, there would be no purpose for the main field area until defensive structures were down. One way to rectify this would be to put walls to funnel that back path so it comes out right in the middle of the base instead of behind the refinery. Or, you could put defensive structures back in the base so that it can cover both sides, but you should still put little walls so an APC can't drive right up to the Refinery with minimum contact. Also, your main field plays with either one team being on someones doorstep or vice versa, because it's two small fields with a choke point in the middle. I'd just make on big field out of the two and eliminate the choke, but have a river or two running through it.

An APC could blow right past both of those. You really need the primary defense structure to have good coverage over entrances, or it turns into a one team sits in their base and the other attacks with APCs kind of game.

Well, what you gotta do is move the refinery away from being right in front of the back entrance. If someone drove the APC well enough, they could slide right in with little or nothing from the primary defensive structure. Here, let me show you what I think would work best to circumvent this problem:

I thought about the choke point in the middle, and I had a new idea, so I drew up a [really really] quick 3D image of what it might look like:
http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1108683723
Pardon the horribleness of that image. Anyway, there would still be the two field seperated by the choke, but a big bridge runs from each base to the edge of their field. Then the bridge gets cut off and there is rubble or whatever, symbolizing a broken bridge, and there will be basic defensive structures for each side on the end of their bridge. Now, on the bottom field, tanks can go under the bridge or right next to it. However, the bottom should allow at least two mammoths or 3 mediums to pass underneath side by side. So, tank drivers can go up on the bridge for a vantage point or try and take the lower field to get to the enemy base.

I'll try making a brand new, cleaner one later tonight. This is just the main idea after suggestions.

Edit: In this case, One team would gain control of the others field, but the team that is locked in, can use the bridge to sneak behind and clear the way.
I'm thinking of if the choke point should be there or not, thinking of how the game would play out..
