Level(s) Info           : Levels 1 & 2 are primarily
                          designed for deathmatch, but
                          very good for co-op (suggest skill 4)
                          and single play also. Level 3 designed
                          as primarily a co-op/single play level.
                          But hell, it might be the best deathmatch
                          Wad of the bunch, I'm too tired to think now. 
                          Details on each level follows:
                          
          Map01 info    : Not a lot of gimmics to get in the way of  
          "Hide-n-Seek"   good deathmatch play & sized right too.
                          Use -nomonsters switch if desired.
                          Deathmatch at skill level 2 designed
                          for shotguns & chainguns only.
                          Deathmatch at level 3 has lotsa weapons.
                          Lots of 2-way walls, etc for ambushes.
                          Timed sectors release surprises.
                          (Better finish in <5 min. unless you
                          like fighting the Arch-Vile..;)

          Map02 info     : I finished this level in one all-nighter,
          "Bad Nite Out"   (initial creation), + about 8 hours of chgs.
                           It's deathmatch sized, no keys reqd, but lots
                           of switches for moving sectors (w/items), etc.
                           Skill 4/5 has Icon thrower w/monster teleports
                           and is probably the only reason to play co-op,
                           (Very tough going it alone here).
                           Lighting level in main outside sector dimmed  
                           in this version to add some "surprise" elements.
                           Hint: Teleports have 4 sides.                   

          Map 03 info    : The largest of the three levels, custom crushers,
          "The Crush"      secret rooms & lots of weapons.  Hidden sectors with
                           monster-only teleports to keep areas "populated".
                           I'll be improving/expanding this level later, but
                           it's not bad as it is.
                           Hint: Some areas will require several visits
                                 to complete the level. Watch your step
                                 for directions.
                                 

                          I know the sounds get a little "busy"
                          sometimes...but still worth it, I feel.
                          Comments/Suggestions appreciated.
                          (Too hard? Too easy? Weapon balance?
                           Map02 lighting outside a plus/minus?)

                          
                >>>>** IF THE SOUNDS FROM CASUALTIES OF WAR
                       OFFEND YOU, DO NOT PLAY THIS WAD **
                       THIS WAD IS DESIGN FOR ADULTS ONLY.
                       USE THE INCLUDED WAD "CASUAL.WAD"
                       WHICH HAS THE OFFENSIVE SOUNDS

Description             : OK, OK here's the story for ya...
                          Sgt. Meserve has just been released from
                          serving his sentence of 10yrs hard labor.
                          He may have paid his debt to society, but
                          he hasn't wiped The Punisher's slate clean.
                          He's about to step into another dimension;
                          and this time he won't be in control.
                          He'll be at the mercy of endless cherries
                          and FNG's, walking into ambushes and death
                          only means starting over.  Welcome SGT Meserve,
                          to the Tour of Duty that never ends - 
                          the PATROL INTO HELL...

If you enjoy these levels, how about sending $1 (yes - one dollar)
to me at the snailmail address above.  In return I'll notify you
of future wad files (including a total conversion wad).

Authors may use this level as a base to build additional
levels, AS LONG AS THE PUNISHER LOGO/CRUSHER REMAINS INTACT.
(I'd like to see any wads built from it.)

You may distribute this WAD non-comercially, but inclusion in a   
"for-sale" collection requires permission from the author.
(I'd just like a copy of the CD, Wishful thinking on my part! ;) )
