Fluff:

This picturesque pathway for penitent pilgrims proffering perpetual praise at the shrine of the Emperor forms powerful protection against the abundance of assailing antagonists.  Can your stalwart band hold against the onslaught, save the  shrine from desecration, and better yet, claim victory in the face of incredible odds?

Installation:  
Works for either Soulstorm or Dark Crusade.  Place in your game directory inside of the  DXP2-Data-Scenarios-MP folder.

Where did this crazy idea come from?
This was just a fun map I put together in a short time as a solo map against a number of mixed AI races.  I wanted to make it more feasible to win a match against 7 allied badguys on Insane, starting with standard resources and without the assistance of a super-power mod.  Only a few other maps I've seen are conducive for this, and only work with particular races.  This map shouldn't be too hard to survive on, but getting out there and blowing up the attackers' bases is no piece of cake!  

Set Up:
Set up the game however you like, as long as starting positions are fixed (not random!).  If you choose the win condition of game timer you will probably win based on the number of kills, since with little effort you can take down 10 for every one of your men to fall.  Sudden Death is a reasonable win condition since you still have to protect your own and get a team out there to take a point away from each enemy.  Destroy HQ is lots of fun when playing as IG - you can wipe out most enemy bases with a volley of Earth Shakers.  Annihilate is clearly the toughest, and on the harder levels it can be quite challenging.  Eldar will be the easiest race to win with, but even then plan on a long drawn out battle as you make one sneak attack at a time.  SoB and IG are rather difficult to win with because of their movement limitations.  Orks are quite fun but plan to loose a lot of stormboys!  

Choose the number of opponents carefully.  You don't have to fight all seven at the get-go!  Take it easy and enjoy it as you develop the defensive and offensive strategies that work best for you.  Remember, races that don't build turrets are easier to attack than others, such as Dark Eldar.  Tao don't make turrets either, but are tough because of their long range firepower.  I hope you find a mix that works well for you and have a lot of fun!
