Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. Today we've got some news for you from Normandy and from our upcoming patch, which will feature new weapons and new maps.

Let's start by showing our Normandy news item. The Universal Carrier was originally designed as an armoured vehicle, capable of carrying heavy weapons through areas too dangerous to use regular trucks. It soon became clear that this incredibly versatile vehicle was better suited as armoured infantry support. Nearly all Allied nations made use of the Universal Carrier, making it the most produced armoured fighting vehicle in history. The original model was done by Omni, Toddel and Rad and the new skin was done by Toddel.

The next vehicle we want to show will make its appearance in the upcoming patch. The Hurricane MkIID was nicknamed 'The Flying Can Opener'. It was armed with two 40mm Vickers 'S' anti-tank cannons, carrying 15 rounds each. It was a great anti-tank weapon, because it's cannons were much more effective against tanks than regular bombs. The first Hurricanes of this type were used in the summer of 1942. The original hurricane was made by Lobo and the 40mm cannons were added by ctz.

Finally, we want to show you one of the maps that will feature in the upcoming patch. This map, about the battle of Gazala in 1942, was made by Fenring.

"By May 1942, both the Italian-German army and the allied forces in North Africa had received substantial reinforcements. As they had dug in along the Gazala line three months earlier the time was now right for an offensive. On May 26th, Rommel was the first to strike, taking his Panzerarmee Afrika and the Italian Ariete and Trieste Divisions past the most southern point of the Gazala line and striking the British positions in the rear."

"It soon became clear that the battle would not go according to Rommel's plans. The Italian Ariete Division had failed to defeat the Free French forces at the Bir Hacheim box in the south of the Gazala line and slowly the advance of the Panzerarmee Afrika ground to a halt. Rommel's daring plan had now turned against him, as he was trapped between the British held Gazala line to the west and the advancing British armour to the east. The British failed to launch a coordinated counterattack however, and after a few days of being trapped in 'the cauldron' Rommel had smashed through the British lines and linked up with the Italian X corps and his supplies."

"After easily defeating a British counterattack, on June 5th, which came far too late and was too poorly organised, Rommel could now turn his attention to Bir Hacheim. The Free French, who had held their position against overwhelming odds for over two weeks were finally forced to make their escape. Rommel had now removed the threat to his rear and was able to go onto the offensive again. Only 3 days later he managed to inflict an enormous defeat upon the British armour near El Adem, reducing their number of tanks from 300 to only 70. On June 14th, the British commander ordered a general withdrawl from the Gazala line, which quickly turned into a rout. A week later, Rommel captured Tobruk. A week after that, Mersa Matruh..."

"For Rommel the battle of Gazala turned out to be his greatest victory and after the capture of Tobruk he was promoted to the rank of Field Marshall. For the British however, it was a horrible defeat. About the capture of Tobruk Churchill later said: "This was one of the heaviest blows I can recall during the war. Not only were the military effects grim, but it affected the reputation of British arms. Defeat is one thing; disgrace is another."."

That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next week for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel and our public forums to discuss this update and other news.

这次新闻分两部分，第一部分展示了一张欧洲战场涂装的英制通用运输车；第二部分展示了在即将发布的FH2第一个补丁中所包含的一张新地图：格查拉，另外，还展示了加装了40毫米反坦克机炮的“飓风”战斗机

此外，FH2的新闻更新频率已经回到常规的每周一次，敬请大家期待

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. We've gone without news for a while now since the release, but today we have a large update to make up for it. Let's begin by introducing the three new developers who have joined Forgotten Hope the last few weeks. First, we have Gunnie, who will be working as a coder. Next we have Fenring, who will be mapping. And last but not least we have Remdul, who will be helping us with pretty much everything.

Now then, on to the actual update. We're proud to present the next theater of war Forgotten Hope 2 will be visiting. There was quite some discussion about which stage of the war to go to next - on the public forums as well as on the developer forums, but we've finally agreed on our next theater and we hope you are as excited about it as we are. So, without further ado, the next theater of war for Forgotten Hope 2 is Normandy 1944.

With the invasion of Normandy on June 6th 1944 the allies opened up the much needed second front on the German war machine. Within two weeks, over half a million allied soldiers were put ashore in France, paving the way towards the defeat of the Third Reich and a free Europe. You can expect to see many of the famous battles for Normandy in Forgotten Hope 2, but also some of the lesser known, though certainly equally interesting battles.

By going for France, we hope to appeal to our fans who can't really get into the desert combat of our first release. The green hedges and fields of Normandy are in complete contrast with the arid wastelands of the desert and there is no doubt the maps will have a totally different feel to them.

Of course, no update would be complete without screenshots or renders, so here we have the first vehicle done for the Normandy campaign; the Panzerkampfwagen V 'Panther' by Toddel and Knoffhoff.

The fearsome Panther tank was Germany's answer to the Soviet T-34. Featuring thick, sloped armour and an impressive 75mm high-velocity gun this tank was more than a match for anything the allies could throw at it. The most common variant of the Panther in Normandy was the Ausführung A, but many of the newer Ausführung G were also present. In total, about 650 Panthers were used in Normandy, 400 of which were lost there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the second part of this update we've got some news from the African front. Although we're hard at work with our next theater, we will continue to add to (and improve) our first release. For our first patch to Forgotten Hope 2 we've got a lot of bugfixes ready, but we'll also add more vehicles, more weapons and more maps. Though I can tell you we have at least 2 maps planned for the first patch, I'll leave the details of those for a future update. We do have some renders ready for you of some of the vehicles that you'll see in the patch. The first vehicle we'd like to show off is the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. D, by Omni.

Compared to the Panzer IV Ausf. F1 (already in Forgotten Hope 2), the Ausf. D has much thinner armour. Historically, the first Panzer IV F1s arrived in Africa with the 15th Panzer Division in May 1941 - so you'll be sure to see the Panzer IV Ausf. D on maps taking place before that, such as Lobo's Siege of Tobruk. The Ausf. D was also extensively used in the Blitzkrieg campaigns of 1940, so once we get there you can expect to see it there as well.

Finally we have one more vehicle to show you and this one will feature in both the patch and the next theater; the Sd.Kfz. 2 'Kettenkrad' by Toddel, Rainderd, K96 and Gunnie.

The Kettenkrad was originally designed as a small gun tractor for airborne troops, being small enough to fit inside a Junkers Ju 52, but it proved a very versatile vehicle and was used in many roles, like reconnaissance and towing aircraft. A total of 8300 of these vehicles were produced during the war. As you can see by the different skins, the Kettenkrad was used on every front. You'll see the sand yellow version in Africa, the camouflaged version on the late Western and Eastern fronts and the grey version in the Blitzkrieg campaigns, the early Eastern front and of course, Crete.

That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next week for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel and our public forums to discuss this update and other news.
