Aiming To Write A Mission For A Tow Server?

To get a standard look to the Mission briefs on the ToW Server Missions we are trying to standardize the .properties file.

Please include all the BLACK text and alter the Red or Blue text to that required in your mission. Finally, please join up all the lines after "Descrption" to make one long line (Check using Notepad - Wordwrap - Off).
