Traction Arrière11.10.2020 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off one of the many transport vehicles that the French depended upon during the German invasion in 1940, the Citroën Type 23 U truck. Introduced by Citroën in 1936, the Type 23 U was light truck with a capacity of 1.5 tonnes. Sharing similar styling to the Traction Avant series of cars, it also used the engine from the 11CV. With the start of the war in 1939 the French Army would order 13000 Type 23s. With some simplification to the design such as flattened fenders, almost all of this order was delivered in 10 months. 6000 would serve with the Germans after the armistice, with production of the related L and R models continuing under occupation. It is claimed that many of these vehicles made for the Germans were subtly sabotaged by marking the fill lines on their oil dipsticks wrong. Ours was made by Seth Soldier. That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next time for another update.

Chasing Ghosts27.09.2020 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off the first of the maps that will be featured in our upcoming version 2.6. You might recognise it from a video or two, but finally we can properly show off Flavion: "Blitzkrieg" has become the most common term to describe German tactics in the beginning of World War 2, even though the Germans themselves never used it. One of the most famous examples of the lightning advances and combined arms warfare that characterized this stage of the war were the exploits of Rommel's 7th Panzer-Division, called the "Ghost" division due to its habit of turning up in unexpected places. At one point not even the German high command knew Rommel's whereabouts. On the 15th of May, near the town of Flavion, the Ghost division faced heavy French tanks from 1re DCR. Even though their own armor was inferior to the enemy Char B1bis, cooperation between the different arms and better communications won the day for the Germans. Flavion was made by the ever talented Ts4EVER. You can find the minimap and a preliminary vehicle listing here. As a final note this week, we have spread our presence to Reddit as well. Come find us here. That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next time for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our Discord, our public forums, our Twitter, our subreddit, and/or Facebook pages to discuss this update and other news.
