Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

With the Beta Event 3 upcoming next week, we will give you now new details on the maps included :

Merdorp
France vs Germany
by Guinho

In May 1940, as German panzer divisions advance through the Low Countries, French and British elite forces execute the Dyle-Breda maneuver, aiming to stop them from reaching France. The two armoured forces would clash near Hannut, in the network of defensive positions set in the villages such as Merdorp.

Watten
France vs Germany
by La Hire

Following the breakthrough in the Ardennes, German forces have reached the Channel and stopped before the final assault on the Dunkirk perimeter, bounded by the southwest by the river Aa. A strong observation post near the town of Watten forces the German soldiers to cross the river and assault the mixed French units, who are hoping to buy enough time for a decisive counterattack.

Kiswe
Britsh Raj & Free France vs Vichy France
by SputnikFighter & CptBocquier

In 1941, following the invasion of Iraq, the Allies seek to secure the flank of the Suez Canal and capture the mandates of Vichy France, supposedly neutral but aligned with the German Reich. One of the three axes of attack of Operation Exporter aims toward Damascus, but before the Allied column stands the town and heights of Kiswe, critical chokepoint defended by determined Vichyst troops.

Dubno
Soviet Union vs Germany
by Guinho

With Operation Barbarossa underway, German tanks are dashing through eastern Poland. A strong but desorganized Soviet counterattack near the towns of Dubno and Brody is causing a lot of chaos. As the Soviets attempt to regroup and escape the imminent encirclement, both sides clash in a massive tank battle around the town of Verba.

Bir Hakeim
Free France vs Germany & Italy
by SputnikFighter & CptBocquier

At the southern end of the Gazala line stands Bir-Hakeim, an abandonned Turkish fort transformed into an impressive network of dug-in positions surrounded by minefields. With the Gazala Line breached, German and Italians are now throwing everything they have against the surrounded but stubborn Free French defenders. The latter are fighting an uphill battle, hoping to buy enough time for the rest of the Allied forces to regroup.

Operation Little Saturn
Soviet Union vs Italy
by La Hire

After encircling a part of the German Army in Stalingrad but failing to eliminate the pocket, the Soviets are launching a new offensive, designed to expel the Axis forces from the area definitively. In front of them, with limited anti-tank capabilities, obsolete tanks and almost no winter gear, the entrenched Italians await the Soviet tanks under the worst conditions possible.

Sinjavino
Soviet Union vs Germany
by John Tomasson

Operation Iskra in 1943 only partially lifted the siege of Leningrad. Strong German defenses are still threatening the lifeline east of the city. Repeated Soviet assaults and German counterattacks turn the area near the town of Sinjavino into a swampy, shell-torn wasterland, reminiscent of the first World War battlefields.

Operation Atlantic
Canada vs Germany
by Papillon - special thanks to the CMP Community

In July 1944, the Allies are still bogged down in Normandy. Launched simultaneously with Operation Goodwood, Operation Atlantic aims to secure the eastern flank of the town of Caen, D-Day objective still not captured. After initial successes, Canadian soldiers encounter fierce resistance in the ruined buildings of the SMN, a large metallurgical plant located East of the river Orne.

Bure
Great Britain vs Germany
by Matt Baker

During winter 1944, German units managed to reach the small town of Bure to secure their advance towards the Meuse river. Although this ultimately failed, it is now up to the British airborne and armoured forces to clear the snow-covered village of the Germans. Multiple close-quarter combats and armoured counterattacks occur, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides.

Hatten-Rittershoffen
United States vs Germany
by Papillon - special thanks to the CMP Community

In January 1945 Operation Nordwind is causing a lot of confusion in the Allied lines in Alsace. German armoured forces are now pushing towards the villages of Hatten and Rittershoffen, surrounded by Maginot Line fortifications. For two weeks, US troops put up fierce resistance in the area, causing both sides to lose around fifty tanks each.
