I was not thinking neither. XD

The map is done by me but the story is by Jens, that map is big compared
to the units inside,that is because I wanted to have the player more
option to choose directions to attack from, but not be forced to
response to the incoming enemy`s tanks immediately. But what I have to
admit is that the laying was not well reconsiderated, and it is much
less great compared to a newly hot completed map which is still not well
tested, which is better regarded.

And yes, the value of the artillery changes from map to map.

I have got a question, what if a letter has a file appended to and sent
to the user-list, would it cause any problem such if the program is not
designed to be used this way?
