General info:
-------------
- This map is a rather small, fast paced multiplayer map. Perfect for 2 teams of 12
players. Scene is an Ardennes town, full of tight alleys and large courtyards. The centre of
the town has a chapel which stores some expensive relics. Its the allies task to blow up
the entrance to that chapel, steal the relic and escape with it to the Allied truck which
will take the relic to London for further research. If the allies want to be able to escape
this Ardennes town, they'll have to find a way to open the town gates. This can be done
by destroying the town control center and pressing the switch found behind one of the controls.

Current known bugs:
-------------------
- Fountain water isn't perfect.
- This is my first custom map for a q3 engine based game, so dont expect too much of it,
i worked a lot fixing r_speeds and cranking up fps on this map, still some areas of the map
have very high r_speeds, which results in lower fps than it should be.

Some quotes of the betatesting people:
--------------------------------------
- "The Bar has just been moved up several notches. I was only able to play for an hour or so,
but I am extremely impressed. Well thought out, very well designed, outstanding texture and
colorization, and watch out for that V1. Wait till you hear the music." --- Bungalo Bill

- "the map is small..i usually dont like small maps but this one.....whoa nelly. for such a small
map, im surprised. its easier to get lost on this map than any other. all the credit flies to
Ariff for the creation of this map. dang amigo, you rule! the church tiles rule!! one of these
days im going to blow myself up on them tiles and hit spectator mode just to get screenshots."
--- Lead Psychiatry

- "This map is beautifully laid out. It will take a while to know exactly where everything is and
whatnot, but the layout and the intracasies (sp) of design are wonderful. There are so many
little nooks and crannies and hiding places that it will take a while to know where everyone is,
but that just takes time. It will be enjoyed for a long time to come." --- Blue Monkey

- "As for gameplay itself, it was great. i love all the hiding places. The rooftops bring a new
"dimension" of gameplay, not only do u have to look around u but u have to look up alot more
to make sure noone is up there. all those tight alley way battles were awesome, just love the
urban type warefare." --- [RC]Bman35

- "Awesome!!!! Roofs, ledges, rooms, balconys, you name it it's got it, i love going up with my
sten and this map has it! 2 thumbs up! might beat wizernes, have to play with 20 ppl to see."
--- Zytryx

- "I love the closed in feel of this map. Great oe-on-one fights to be had in the ally ways. All
1000 of them. (Many a VIB is going to be doing some self sacraficing with the PF...those hallways
can be a tight fit with more than two people.)" -- Mr. OneTime

- "I tested the map and when you do see it you will see that the maker is on a completely different
level then all but a few map makers out there. if you told me it shipped with RTCW i would believe you."
--- Loco LLama

- "I have come to say good-bye. In a quarter of an hour I shall be dead. The Fuhrer has given me the
choice of taking poison or being dragged before the People's Court."
--- Erwin Rommel after the assassination attempt on Hitler ;o)
