First of all thank you for taking an interest in my mod and trying it out. This read me file contains all the information regarding this mod and the features within.

New Features
-None at this time

Features
-This modification consists currently with one simple change. All official map have been altered to remove ticket bleed. Let me explain, currently BF1942 has a ticket bleed system in which you capture a certain number of control points and the other teams tickets start to fall or “bleed.”
-This Mod does not have ticket bleed. Control points are for tatical purposes only.Meaning if your team controls all “captureable” points the other teams tickets will not fall. The only exception to this are maps like Aberdeen where all points are capturable without an uncaptureable. I this case once all points are taken and all players on the losing side are killed the other team wins.
- Original Music replaced with a mix of the original and the Omaha track from the "Saving Private Ryan" soundtrack.
- A few of the vehicles are redone to correct some obvious oversites by EA/Dice, i.e. B-17 & all jeeps.
- Destroyers no longer have exculded postions, i.e Machine guns.
- More apropriate AA solutions for destroyers.

Warning
-Because of the way this mod is designed it is advisable to not increase intial ticket values above 100% because maps can last a half an hour or more.
