 Objectives
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The Allies need to secure the town by taking the church; gain entry to the abbey by blowing the abbey doors or any other means; Locate the Axis Normandy Defence Pans and Take them to the Gun Boat waiting on the North Side of the Island


# The Axis need to prevent the Allies establishing a foothold in the Town by holding the Church.  Do not let the allies into the Abbey; if they get in protect the normandy defence plans at any cost, do not let them get them off the Mont.

 This is an Alpha release and NEEDS testing 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There WILL be technical glitches - Z fighting / caulk / gaps showing.  I am catching & fixing these & the map shouyl;d be in pretty decent shape in the regard for the Beta release (please don't feel the need to tell me about these, they are my responsibility etc.)

I do need feedback on playability, please mail me on what you think, especially any constructive comments. If you can, please let me know, at each stage (1/ take church, 2/ get into abbey, 3/ steal documents),  where you think the balance in the game is e.g. too easy for allies, much too easy for axis , balanced etc.


If you want to host this map on a server then please do so but let me know so that i can join in. Feel free to discuss this map at http://www.wolfensteinx.com/surface/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1587 and leave feedback and advice on what to fix and what to balance


Fixed After Aplha v1 Release.

	*Ladder near green restaurant lengthened so you can get out.
	*barbwire added to wall underneath cloister - to increase difficulty og allies escape jump. Also crates added & some 	 walls lowered
	*Offensive Poster removed (appologies for my ignorance)
	*Added texture to rocks (& changed from desert to temperate, not that anyone will notice)
	*Axis door in Abbey door changed to swing the other way.
	*Ship fixed - ladders climbable all clip brushes in place etc also includes front firing mounted heavy MG - 	 thanks NOP.
	*when abbey doors are blown - axis now auto spawn at abbey & not the church if they still hold it
	*the cliffs can now be landmined
        *Put a ladder in the pit Gauki (I think) said he couldn't get out of
	*more lights added
	*I found the bread to go with the sausage.
	*Many minor texture glitches
	*I had to add a clip to prevent access to some of the abbey roofs, all town roofs should be accessible as before.
	*There was a request to widen the window above the abbey doors, which I've done.
