----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for downloading this map, we hope you will enjoy it very much.

This is a map located in Normandy, south-east of Caen. The map is based on a true
mission, codenamed Epsom. The basic aim of Epsom was to sweep round to the west and
south of Caen and reach the main Caen-Falaise road. This would almost encircle the 
German defenders around Caen.

The date is june 27th 1944, the sun is going down. The 4th King’s Shropshire Light
Infantry (4KSLI) of 159th Infantry Brigade represent the allies team. Their task 
was to attack the hill, which was defended by the 12th SS Panzer Division. The 
allies start in their base and can capture 2 points right ahead: the depot building and 
the town colleville. this is a pretty important town because it is near to the 
only intact bridge over the river Odon. Axis can capture Baron sur Odon where 
additional tanks and an apc will spawn. Allies and axis need to fight for the 
bridge because its the only way for vehicles to get to the hill. Both sides have a
fighterplane although you can't see much when flying.. but that makes it all the
more fun.

The map's lighting is set pretty dark, but still playable. you see pretty far away
like you would at dusk. It makes it even more fun due to the fact that you can hide
everywhere on the map, each object looks like an enemy if seen from a distance.

A TUNNEL is located near Colleville, to provide quick acces from the back of the town
to the bunker near the intact Odon bridge. You can either use it and risk being 
trapped or use the ruins that are on top of it as cover.

The environment sound includes far off bombing sounds, birds, frogs, river... 
Also encluded are wrecked tanks, apc's, jeeps and even a crashed b17.
