Description:
This is a Fury Strategy map... thus the name.  I have recreated all the Fury units
with wingman units so you can snipe and pilot them.  The host will get a custom
recycler that produces almost exclusively custom units.  Where Fury units couldn't
be used (or would be over used) I replaced them with standard units that look like
BlaskDog Units with Fury type weapons.  All default weapons on all vehicles have
been replaced with Fury weapons.  The Fury weapons are also available in the custom
armory... as well as the standard set.  I tired to keep the functionality of the
vehicles while adjusting their behavior more towards the Fury counterpart.  ie:
The 'Scout' starts with a single boltbuddy to be matched against the NSFD scout.  In
cases where the Fury unit was superior to it's counterpart, the cost and scrap
value was adjusted accordingly.  There is lots of room for adjustment in this method
of operation, so most likely there will be another version pending feedback.  I also
start eveyone near the center and in fighters only, so it's a dash to the bases to
set up with recycler in tow.  I did this because placing the custom recycler was not
predictable.  Also, I have considered giving al lplayers the Alien vehicle set, but
I don't know if it would work or if people wouldprefer that over the stock units
fighting the Alien units.  Feedback is needed.  The terrain was thiefed from Soviet
Mission #6 since lacking a terrain was hindering my progress.  The units could be
incorporated intodifferent levels easy enough, you would just have to add the
custom recycler intot he bzn and the host will get control over it.  If you do borrow
the units, please let me know... I would like to see them go further and see more
development in this direction.

Since there are so many custom units in the level, I made a batch file that would install
them into your addon dir and remove them.  They live in a subdir off the addon dir and
when uninstalled the go ina seperate uninstalled subdir of furyST (in case it accidentally
picks up a file it shouldn't have).  The uninstall is destructive, so you only have one
chance of retrieving files from the uninstall before they are overwritten by the next
uninstall.  I know this seems crazy... but after Cmdr Wanyeg gave me a map with tons of
files, my addon dir swelled and I curse him evertime I have to scroll around (he he).
The install checks for same named files and warns you if it finds anything.  It goes by
basename.* so if it's identical except for the extension, it will likely get picked up
by my batch file operations.  I didn't think that would be too likely since we're all
working with .odf and .inf fles mostly.... but if your concerned about it... don't use
the batch file.  I tested it on my system several times and it worked flawlessly.  In
fact, if you are currently uninstalled and you select the map in the map selector of
battlezone, it will warn you that you are not correctly installed.  Wee... Thank's to
Slight for all the DOS help and examples.

I have also included a anticheat.bat file located in the addon\furyST\checkodfs dir.
This is from the included README:
---begin
This silly little batch file allows you to manage check.odf files easily.  It also allows
you to incorporate the new custom units introduced in the furyST strategy map in both the
'cheat' and 'anticheat' check.odfs.  Finally, it offers a blank check.odf which in turn 
will allow you complete freedom in custom units.  This is offered for ease of 
compatability during the testing of levels... not for cheating. To each his own I supose.

This batch file takes no efforts to preserve your current check.odf
as it has the two most comonly in use right now.  If you have a
custom check.odf that you use often, I suggest you add it to the 
batch file as another choice.  Maybe we'll start seeing a custom
check.odf file for every level... wouldn't that be grand?!

The only reason I'm making this one available is because with the
number of custom units in furyST, it would be extremely easy for
someone to cheat.  Hopefully this will not be the case, but here it
is just in case.
---end

This is possibly my final map!  The number of hours spent fighting the limitations
of this game are extraordinary!  I will most likely move into more of a playing
role.  It's been fun, I've learned a lot... but it's all too consuming.  The CRF web
site will live on, I will continue in the bzone community.... but I just don't know
about the editing stuff.  Besides... it has kept me from playing!
