Description
*****************************

The purpose of this mod is to enhance the game with
necessary tweaks that will improve matchplay and all
aspects of competition.  There were 3 main functions
of the .71 version.  1) to make a nice installer.  2)
To add some well tested custom maps.  3) To make Road
to Rome fun again with patches. 

The stock BF1942 maps can be played with the BFPro
gameplay changes, and the BFPro maps can be played in
stock BF1942. 

The.7 version is a full version of BFPRo that includes
the Vanilla maps, RtR maps and 12 new custom maps. 
The .71 patch fixes some issues.

*****************************
Fixes in .71

1) Fixes the issue with some console change maps
commands in BBO not working
2) Corrects the issue where Berlin_pro, Midway_pro and
the _inf maps could not be played in regular bf
without the BFPro mod activated.
3) Fixes some issues with OMG_pro and some of the
changed RtR maps where they would sometimes crash on
connect.
4) Made a smaller server install
