Personal Diary
January 18, 1943, 21:15
Command has received information that this camp is being used as front for some sort of human experiments. The type of experiments are conducted here remains unknown but reportedly invovles some sort of maturation chambers used to mutate humans into super soldiers.
Through the usual channels, they have sent information about the location of the facility. Originally, our plans were to dig a tunnel to the west of the camp to outside the main fence, but now we've decided to dig north to the research facility location. With any luck we can break through a wall into the facility with enough men to hold off any resistance.
July 7, 1943, 1:02
Great news today, Command sent word that they have an operative replacing the train driver on the south line and he will hold the train at the station for us to escape. We were also informed of dire news which indicates axis are at the final stage of their experiments, they must not be allowed to complete them!
Yesterday, the final stage of the tunnel to the research area was completed. Tonight we will infiltrate the facility, Some of our men will create a diversion at the north gate and make their way to our location if they are able to sneak through. Once we're inside we must locate the documents which will reveal detailed imformation about what Axis were planning.
We must then take the documents to the train station located to the south of the camp and sneak them, and as many pow's as we can onboard.
Finally the truth will be known and many of us will have escaped to freedom, God be with us.

Special functionality
=====================
Random Objective Placement
--------------------------
The two main objectives, Secret Documents and Soldier activation key, are placed randomly at the beginning of the match. To provide for more varied gameplay each match.
Taps give health
----------------
All taps and showers in the map when turned on can give out health when activated on.
Water supply pump destructable
------------------------------
Either Axis or ally team can destroy the water pump with TNT located at the south-east of the camp. All taps in the facility will then not function for the remainder of the match.
Alternate route out of the camp
-------------------------------
The General's car can be driven down the hill and crashed through the fence, providing an alternate route out. Remember cold cars are hard to start, it may take a few tries.
