Description: Just demonstrating that NM is possible on this map - it's not a very speedy demo. The idea is to weaken all the barons with the shotgun and/or chaingun *without killing them*, before grabbing the invulnerability and finishing them all off quickly with rockets. As the demo shows, there is even scope for quite a few foul-ups and wasted rockets (as long as there are no very quick respawns). The method I used to ensure there were no premature baron deaths was to try to hit each baron with one shotgun blast on each circuit. Actually  there was one premature death which I didn't notice, but fortunately the respawned baron was in a very convenient place to take a few rockets when the time came. If you're running round the outside track, then you'll probably do less damage to any barons in the central area, but to compensate, those barons will be taking more damage from the spectres.
