*    Story:                    *
*-----------------------------------------------*

General Kartoffel and his loyal men are still
fighting for the Vaterland altough it's 1945 and
the Fürher just committed suicide. Kartoffel and
some of his fellow men are now trying to clean up
their records and some salary notes are situated
in the cellar of castle blackwood. The only
problem is that the allies control the castle...

*    Mission:                *
*-----------------------------------------------*

The axis needs to escort a tank through a forest
and get inside Castle Blackwood. They will then
need to siphone diesel from their tank and
take the diesel to the cellar and set the secret
documents on fire.

The bush near the upper cave in the middle (over the river)
uses model scale 3.14 as a reference to the famous number of
circles.

The whole maps bsp structure is fitted inside a space that is
16384 units times 12288 units which gives the diagonal  of 20480
units this is actually an egyptical triangle with the sides:
3, 4 and 5 it's just 4096 times bigger ;)

The tank uses 128 splines :D hihihihihihihihi :P

All terrain is handmade which gives the map a very organic
feel, it also makes it possible to reduce the amount of
running between spawns and objectives

I was listening to "Four Tops" while making the terrain
around the first tank barrier.

The house in the beginning of the map was originally going
to be a farm house in a fragmap but was later adopted to be
a part of the trashed map S.C.A.R. (secret cargo at Rhein).
The house was finally recycled as a prefab after 2 years on
google drive.

Half of the terrain was constructed during the spring when my
gaming computer was down due to messed up setting for the over
volting (It's overclocked but it did lose the settings due to
a power outage)(it was down for two weeks btw)... But then I
was back playing CS and deaging silvers in the face with my
crimson weeb :) (...)   ...   (.)(.) :P
