	This is a 1 on 2 map that is set in Winter. The lone player gets to start
	with closer access to oil derricks, slightly more supplies. 

	The purpose of this map is to see if two heads really are better than one.

Hints
_____________________________________________________________________________________

	Hint #1: Supplies
	
	Supplies are key to victory in this skirmish map, build supply lines early
	secure them. Check back on the condition of the supply lines and reinforce
	the ones that need help.

	Hint #2: Oil Derricks

	A constant cash resource is a great way of getting the edge over other
	players.After supplies run out the Oil Derricks really do help to keep your
	defensive and offensive lines stable.

Public Testing
_____________________________________________________________________________________

	To make sure that the maps that I make are quite a high standard I have now
	launched an public testing policy. After I release a map you can report bugs
	or landscape issues to deankrause@hotmail.com.

	If enough bugs or errors have been reported I will fix them and rerelease the
	map.

Notes from the Author
_____________________________________________________________________________________

	I was checking out some games online and was pleasantly surprised to find
	out that people where playing some of my maps :)

	In particular:

	- Minesweeper (ZH)
	- Mount Olympus (ZH)	

	I found out that some people are changing my maps and creating 'cheat maps'.

	This is a really bad thing since this stops people from wanting to play games
	with my maps in them. To ensure that you don't join a game a cheat map selected
	by the host, don't join games without people that you don't know personally
	or trust.
