[1] WHAT THE MAP PACK CONTAINS
====================================

* AS1_DeathValley 
A two-team Defend & Destroy-type assault mission where each team has one base each and must destroy the other team's base to win, but at the same time not lose their own base.  The object of the mission is to both hold your own base and keep it safe, and to scout out and attack the enemy's base.  The terrain allows for interesting clashes between the two bases. 

* AS2_Dominate 
A two-team Defend & Destroy variant we choose to call "Drop Zone Assault".  Each team has one distinct base and two outposts which all hold one drop zone each, meaning that the team can drop new troops at that location, but if the outpost or base is destroyed the drop zone will be lost and the team will be unable to drop troops at that location.  If a team loses all three drop zones, they cannot receive reinforcements and will fail the mission if they lose the troops currently on the ground. 

* SK1_DesertStorm
One of the most frequent requests we receive for map types, are skirmish missions.  This map is a simple skirmish mission where the single player team is dropped at the center of the map and enemy attacks can come from anywhere.  The mission can be played by a lonesome player also, to do this you should select LAN, choose the map and just start the game alone.  The human players win if they reach the score limit before the time limit runs out.  They lose if the time limit runs out, unless of course time limit is 0.  


[2] HOW TO INSTALL THE MAP PACK
====================================

The three SDF files are to be placed in your GC directory, under DATA in a sub-directory called MAPS.  If you do not have such a directory, create it and then place the SDF files in that directory.  The full path for a default install should read C:\Sierra\GC\Data\Maps\.  The maps will then become available for multiplayer sessions.  Remember that internet play requires the dedicated server to also have the maps you wish to play, therefore if you are running a dedicated server make sure that it also has access to these SDF files.  Official Ground Control maps will be available for play on WON.net servers worldwide as soon as possible.
