Description		: A dm level for hl.  A kind of blend between strategy and frenzy.  Use                          : the turret well and you may well have some fun. Be careful getting the                         : egon.  And finally, if you are manning the turret and there is a                               : camper/sniper in the crossbow building, press the button near the gun                          : and watch them turn into pate!  This can only be used once per                                 : minute.                                                                                        : There are 2 snark packs hidden somewhere in the level.  You need the                           : guass or jump module to get one, and the guass for the other.
                        : Use the health charger if you have low health (and/or a death wish)

no bugs, as such, but In a couple of places i Have stretched textures to reduce r_speeds.  So decals/bullet holes/explosion marks look pretty weird.

================================================================
		::: ADDITIONAL INFO :::
================================================================

This is my first release to the general public, and my second map EVER on any game, so be gentle!

At first I wanted to make a level full of eye-candy, but in the end I got rid of most of it.  I tried to focus more on gameplay and making this map fun.  I wanted to make the tank better looking but the r_speeds stopped me.  I think the r_speeds stay quite low considering you can usually see the WHOLE level at once.  They generally hover about 500 in most places but can slide up to 800 when in corners or at the turret. D'OH!.  Most of my time was spent trying to reduce the r_speeds.  Time well spent, I believe.

Thanks to the "scary one" for giving me advice, hints and many other helpful things.  Cheers scary_1!, you really helped me along.  You are truly a man of the people.

Once again, thanks to "ycRbycH" and "evilchild" and everyone at the doe.  I'm certain they have made a huge difference to my map.
