Description     : A small deathmatch map
                  
                  The story:
                  It is christmas time and you and your wife
                  spend the holidays in a small cabin, deep in
                  the mountains.
                  Suddenly you get visitors - a bunch of strange
                  looking men. They ask if they can hide in your
                  cabin from the comming blizzard.
                  Unfortunately, the blizzard was an extremely
                  strong one and the whole cabin is covered with
                  snow.
                  As time passes, your guests are getting nervous,
                  as they cannot leave, because of the snow.
                  After a while you realize that they are fugitive
                  criminals and the MP5s they are carrying are not
                  for hunting...
                  These people shoot your wife and now it is you
                  who the murderer is aiming at...
                  Somehow you manage to grab his pistol and hit
                  him with your fist in the face. You use the
                  opportunity, run away and hide somewhere in the
                  house. The confusion among the bad guys doesn't
                  last long and they start to search the house.
                  You know, that you cannot hide in the small
                  cabin, you will have to stand up and fight...
                  Fight - for your life...

                  This map is a conversion of the xmas map, I made
                  for the Gunslinger mod. It is meant as a
                  christmas special I want to dedicate it to all
                  Action Quake fans of good will ;)                  

                  Greetings to Quintin Stone, the father
                  of Gunslinger.
