Story
========
The Axis have taken over this small, hilly town somewhere in Europe. Rumoured to have a substantial supply of weapons, the Allies have decided that capturing this town would cause a big blow to the Axis.

The Allies strategized on how to capture the town. Some have said that just bombing it to bits would be good - but the town's stockpile could also be used by the Allies. So due to the town's openess and hilly nature, the Allies have decided that it would be better to capture the town at nightime.

Release Notes
========
+ Originally supposed to be a small map ideal for knife-only rounds, this map expanded due to the fact that I didn't realize the scale.
+ I designed the map for all types of players (snipers, mgs, bazookas, etc), and for people who like all different kinds of routes (streets, roofs, alleyways, in-buildings and sewers).
+ Thanks to the people on Kustom Kettle (kustomkettle.com) for their input.

+ If the translation for the message near the Axis spawn is incorrect, please email me with the correct translation
+ The map is currently in beta testing. So if anyone finds any bugs, PLEASE email me at angusycheng@gmail.com .. Thanks!
