Mini W (Center)

Mini W (Center) reference article.

Overview

The Mini W is a compact, center focused bunker used to form tight choke points, regulate mid field routes, and encourage structured movement patterns.

Key Points

  • Small, center oriented obstacle
  • Creates narrow choke lanes
  • Guides mid field movement patterns
  • Works with wings, cakes, and bricks
  • Used to shape timing based engagements

Details

The Mini W is a condensed version of earlier large W shaped bunkers, designed to shape mid field flow without dominating the center of the layout. Its compact size allows designers to introduce strategic choke points that regulate where and how players can traverse central areas.

Instead of overwhelming the layout with a large centerpiece, the Mini W offers subtle control over movement routes. Its structure encourages players to commit to deliberate, timing based bumps between surrounding bunkers such as Wings, Cakes, Bricks, or other mid field elements.

Because it restricts sightlines through the center without fully blocking them, the Mini W creates predictable channels for mid field traversal. This helps define pacing, reduce chaotic early engagements, and support measured progressions.

Mini W bunkers appear in modern layouts when designers want to introduce controlled central complexity while ensuring that both sides retain balanced access to mid field lanes. Their influence is tactical rather than dominant, promoting structured, disciplined movement.

Their role in shaping transitional zones makes the Mini W a valuable mid field component in contemporary bunker sets.
