A1 is the Dark Wizard's Castle, and F6 is your own base.
A map of each quadrant forms a 6x6 grid, as shown below:
['A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5', 'A6']
['B1', 'B2', 'B3', 'B4', 'B5', 'B6']
['C1', 'C2', 'C3', 'C4', 'C5', 'C6']
['D1', 'D2', 'D3', 'D4', 'D5', 'D6']
['E1', 'E2', 'E3', 'E4', 'E5', 'E6']
['F1', 'F2', 'F3', 'F4', 'F5', 'F6']
Towns are stronger and harder to destroy the further north-west you go.
