Operation Sealion [TDM] -

i started on this map about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and now its almost done, just need to fix the few bugs left. heres some info:
1942 [i think], hitler plans operation sealion, an invasion of england by sea and air, along the south and east coasts. but it never happened in real life after the luftwaffe failed to gain control of the skies over england in the battle of britain, so an invasion would be impossible [thats when the blitz started, so people would get the government to surrender to germany].
so thats the story. heres some stuff about the map:
set on the south east coast of england, near rammsgate in a peaceful english village by the sea. the axis land in landing craft in the east, with 3 ways off the beach: straight up the beach, a pier, or a pipe leading into a car garage.
theres a row of terraces with an alley at the back, 2 pillboxes looking out over the beach, the pier, 3 shops, 2 hotels, a church, 1 bigger house, a car garage and a red telephone box, all surrounded by the sea and cliffs. it uses loads of custom models and textures, eg posters and adverts, and meat and bread for the shops. its a small map, but you can go in every building, so anything from 6 to 32 players would be ok, for all types of weapon
thats all i can think of for now, im too tired to think of anything else. the map isnt that good for FPS, but i dont care. i wanted to make a high detail map, and i have. even the chimneys are full of detail.
anywho, heres the screenshots. these are constantly changing. the map didnt have very good fps, so i deleted the trees around the edge and put that tree texture in, ill have to compile to see how that looks tho.
1st lot of screens:
