(http://www.kazakhstanbirdtours.com/images/steppe%20grassland.jpg)<br/>Part of level 12, the level of Layered set entirely aside  for the tournament, The Steppe is one of the massive battle fields designed to host tournament's many battles. Consisting of large rolling hills, and grassland the only cover available is the abandoned machines of former competitors. The steppe offers clear fields of view in every direction, with no place for any machine to hide, whether it be on land or in the air. As such the steppe is a tanker's dream, lending itself to tank warfare's 'natural' strength's of long range cannon fire and heavy armor. Inversely mechs find themselves at a disadvantage their high profile's meaning that they are unable to seek cover behind the burnt out bodies of older competitors.<br/><br/><br/>
