Sometimes, life hits you hard, and sometimes life hits you so hard, you require shoulder surgery and physical therapy(Turns out a tear in your labrum is serious). So I apologize, and hope to get everything squared away as soon as possible! I will be releasing a large update to the map, which should touch on most of the solid feedback I have received. This includes:
List of Changes
*
- In request of Lord of Beer along with many others, I have attempted to lighten the map (less fallout), without losing the overcast, and also make the lighting more realistic. The problem is, I have many people asking to keep it darker, and many others asking for the map to be lighter.
- Without a doubt I'd like to keep the rain and overcast if at all possible I think the more rainy maps the better! I'm hoping over time I can find a balance for both sides, the lighting is very much WIP until further notice.

OLD STUFF BELOW
Everything should be working. Updated Links
V.1
This is the first version of the map to be released. I have only played it with bots and have a sneaking suspicion that there will be balancing issues. I tried my best to create a difficult challenge for the Allies, but keep the Japanese limited by tickets and spawn time. Currently, there are mortars and artillery on both sides. Historically both sides had the area zeroed in for destruction, but if it takes away from the map please let me know. It was suggested to me by a few folks that the map would benefit from being completely overcast, so that is where it is now. Please let me know of any bugs, issues, or complaints.
Thank you nymets and Beskar Mando for your guys help along with everyone else!
P.S. - Japanese. If there is a flamethrower in the caves you're gonna have a bad time.
