Hello and welcome back folks for another update of the Forgotten Hope Mod. Today we have a bigger update for you than it might appear on the first view. Not only are we showcasing some Finnish equipment today , but the Finns have finally made it into their own section of the website. Expect the Canadians to follow soon after. So take your time and explore the toys of war the Finnish Army has to offer.

First of all,  we have the long awaited Suomi M-31 submachine gun. With its rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute and the excellent range of 200m it will serve you well on the field against all enemies. This sweet item was modeled by Montoya and got its skin from McGibs.

Furthermore we have the BT42 self-propelled artillery gun brought to the battlefield today. It is based partly on a model by Mudge, and completed by Montoya. Its 114mm cannon will devastate anything within range whether friendly or enemy. So be careful where you address your mail.

That's all for today folks. We hope you enjoyed this news update and would be glad to welcome you again next week for another update. Do not forget to stop by our public forums to discuss this one.

Hello and welcome back to another update of the Forgotten Hope Mod. As you might now it is time for the release of the official Fanmappack Version 4. A few words of explanation first. We think it is better to have support for the maps to extend their life cycle. So this release does not contain all new maps. Instead it will provide you with the latest version of maps that were already included in the last release. We are sorry to say that no maps were sent in until the announced deadline that were worth a release within the Fan Mappack but we do hope that the changes made (bugfixes and balancing issues based on your reports) will satisfy you anyway.

Please note that the maps made by Otolikos we showed you in the last news update are not part of this release. Otolikos’s map pack is his own project and none of his maps are included for now. Expect a release of his work within the next weeks. And you should definately give it a try as the maps' look and play are very promising.

We apologize for the troubles you might have had last time as we forgot to spread the server version. This time we have all necessary versions for you to choose. An installer for windows is ready as a zipped archive for the serverfiles is as well. Make your pick and enjoy the latest version of the Fan Mappack.

As this release is a full release the Fan Mappack Version 3 is no longer necessary. Clients may remove the installer from their HDD and hosters are recommend not to host the old pack any longer by replacing it with version 4.

Hello and welcome back for another update of your favourite mod. First of all we would like to give you some more information on the upcoming map pack by Otolikos, which looks very promising. Four maps are included and we want to show you some images of the pending battles to fire you up in advance!

Otolikos’s map pack will feature 4 maps at least including one battle that takes place at night. There will be two versions of Benouville (day and night battle at Pegasus Bridge) plus Ramelle Neuville (which some of you might remember as a prereleased beta from a while ago) and finally a map called In the Hell of Bocage. The Forgotten Hope Developer team is curious and excited about these maps and hopes you are as well. There is no release date announced yet, but it seems that Otolikos is almost done. Check our page later for more info about this topic or give his homepage itself a visit here. You can see many more screenshots there, but here is a preview already.

Benouville Night	In the Hell of Bocage

Also, we have some mod progress to show. Messiha last gave us the Japanese Shiretoko Class. Now it is time for a comparable German support ship. The Dithmarschen Class will serve the Germany Navy in reinforcing and repairing their fleet.

That's all for today folks. We hope you enjoyed the update. Stay tuned for more news next weekend and feel free to discuss this one on our public forums.
