bring down the console and type: map lmsm_beta2.
: NOTE : Reduced HunkMeg usage - Beta1 required seta com_hunkMegs "265" ] in autoexec.cfg Beta2 should use a lot less - it will run standalon in the default setting of 56, although you may need to optimize your server settings to enable players with defualt settings. Please let me know of any hunkmeg issues and solutions omn the forums. I could possibly optimise further in the final release if there are still problems.
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.
