Map Name: "A Sliver of Hope" version 4.2   © August 2003

Creator: Kurt LeBoeuf 

Email: captkurt@cox-internet.com

Added Co-op / Single modes   10-19-03 
      Capture the Flag mode 09/22/03  

Size: 37.7 Meg.

Theatre: Africa

Description: Just some minor fixes such as the MRL repair and AI etc...
	     This update includes AI for Single player and Co-op modes. 
	     You still must defend the Oil reserves if you want to win. This map is a cross
	     between Inshallah valley, Bocage, and Guadalcanal all rolled up into one. 
	     This is the finished version except for maybe the Coop or single player modes,
	     They may get some more tweaking. Like if you find some AI getting stuck or 
	     running into things please get a screen shot and email it to me with a description
	     of the problem and I'll do my best to find the fix. and thank you for your help.
	     This map is freshly painted and ready to rock and roll. Some new places have
	     been added both in plain view and some in hiding, but with some luck and good
	     viewing you'll soon find them.

	     Attached is a .jpg picture file, showing the roadways and the values of each control
	     point, memorize these places so you will know the key points to own, also, 
	     there are 3 different planes that spawn at the Oil Reserves, each plane will
	     spawn according to who owns it's control point. Learn these and you will know
	     who has these higher scoring control points, you or the enemy? Then take action.

	     If you feel it's still in need of more balance, one team more powerful then the
	     other or if you find some of the AI are getting stuck in places etc... And you can add 
	     the details for me to go by or even do a srceen shot for me to do a fix, please
	     e-mail them to me at the link above and let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
	     Hope to hear some feedback, good or bad.
