Thanks for downloading Carentan!
---------------------------------------
**NOTE**
this is not a mod! it is a single map RFA
which can be thrown into the mix with every
other bf map compatible with both bf and rtr

loosly based on the carentan episode from band of brothers.
i really like the tight city maps like berlin and stalingrad
and the infantry squad based battles
but wanted more from it. so i made a small city map.

HUGE THANKS!:
-rexman
-mr perfect
-socketman
-prezident
-madbull
-chimera
-and anyone over at the bf1942.com forums
 (or anyone i didnt mention)
 you guys all rule and are a fountain of knowledge!
 this map (or any other for that matter), would not
 have been possible without all your amazing tools,
 utilities, tutorials etc. thank you

oh and special thanks to my cousin and fellow clan member
=[NASF]=Crazy Cook for helping me test it out a million
times...you rule!
----------------------------------------
EXTRAS:
-im gonna give directions to the roof flags because my
 tester found it difficult to find...bah! what a loser.
 when you first spawn (us or german) walk straight down
 the road in front of your base towards the crates.
 to your right you will see the building used on the
 stalingrad map- proceed to the top floor and hop out
 the back window. walk across the roof and then up the
 ladder...voila!

-the statue in town square is infact...a control point! yup
 thats right, a control point...you wont see the flag cause its
 hidden inside the statue..same with the 2 houses (east and west)
 the flags are sticking out of the roof but are capturable
 from the inside. i thought it to be more realistic that way.
 yknow like a house with a flag on top...lol

-when navigating on the roof and hopping out of windows
 or off of roofs be sure to use the WALK key...shift by default
 this will save you from getting injured by the 
 "im a hardened soldier but cant jump 5 feet" bug. you should
 already be in the habit of using it anyways.
