Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we are proud to announce the first map for the 2.3 patch and show of some in-game screenshots of the Wasp Mk IIC featured in last week's update.

First up; the Wasp. This modified Universal Carrier can be found supporting Canadian troops on the battlefield by projecting flames many meters ahead. However, this tiny little armored vehicle will produce a large boom should it come under fire.

The Wasp Mk IIC was exported and coded by Kev4000.

Next up we have a map that many WWII fans should recognize; Ramelle-Neuville by Otolikos. You can view the minimap in the 'Maps' section of the website.

Sir, there's no way to tell when reinforcements might arrive. I mean, we have no idea what's happening south of us. Our orders are to hold this bridge at all costs. Now, our planes in the 82nd have taken out every bridge across the Merderet with the exception of two; one in Valognes and this one here. If we let the Germans take it, we're going to lose our foothold and have to displace.

The battle for the Merderet river took place at the small towns of Chef-du-pont and La Fière. Here, the men of the 82nd Airborne Division faced several German attacks to take control of the vital causeways and bridges. Although succeeding in defeating the attacks, they failed to maintain a foothold on the western bank, resulting in the heavy loss of life when the La Fière causeway was crossed on D+3.

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

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we are showing off not only two new armored vehicles, but a class type yet unseen in FH2.

First up we have a variant of the British Universal Carrier; the Wasp Mk IIC, and with it we are happy to introduce the flame tank, or in this case, flame APC to the world of FH2.

The Wasp was nothing more than a Universal Carrier modified to carry a Ronson flamethrower. The Mk I carried the fuel tank in the rear compartment of the vehicle, with the flamethrower in a fixed position. The Mk IIC version had the fuel tank moved to the absolute rear, and the projector placed in the co-driver's position. The original model was done by Omni, Toddel, and Rad, with the Normandy skin and flamethrower add-ons done by Toddel.

Next on the list we have another StuG variant. This time we have the early version of the Sturmgeschütz 40 Ausf G.

Early models of the StuG were designed to support infantry in destroying soft-skin targets and bunkers. After the KV-1 and T-34 tanks were encountered on the Eastern Front, a high-velocity 75mm StuK 40 L/43 gun was placed on the Stug III, along with a single Mg34 on top of the superstructure, and thus the StuG 40 was born. Later variants of the StuG 40 (like the one late-war version already in FH2) mounted a StuK 40 L/48 gun and an additional coaxial Mg34. Around 9,400 StuG IIIs were produced. The Sturmgeschütz 40 Ausf G. (early) was made by Toddel.

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

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. It has been a while since our last update, but today we are pleased to be back with some fresh new renders for everyone. But first, please welcome Remick04 to our development team. He will be helping us out in the singeplayer department and will make sure that all of you have as good of a time offline as you do online.

Before we show you today's news, we want to thank everyone for their positive comments regarding the release of patch 2.26. We will be releasing one final patch to finish out the Normandy front for FH2, and then we will be moving on to bigger and better things.

Now onto the actual content! Up first is the M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage and the M51 Multiple Machine Gun Carriage.

The M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage (MGMC) was the result of the US Army's long-standing requirement for an anti-aircraft vehicle, needed to protect its mechanized forces. It employed an M45 quad mount, consisting of four .50 caliber M2HB machine guns, mounted on top of an M3 Halftrack. Although designed as mobile AA, it found greater use as an anti-infantry weapon. Between 1942 and 1944, 2877 of these vehicles were manufactured, with an additional 737 being converted from earlier versions. Because of its effectiveness, the M16 MGMC continued to be used after the war and saw extensive service in Korea.

The M51 Multiple Machine Gun Carriage (MMGC) was the official designation of the M45 quad mount, mounted on top of the M17 trailer. Although the M45 was an effective weapon (its nicknames being "Meatchopper" and "Krautmower"), the M51 wasn't all too popular. It performed so poorly on rough terrain, it was often not possible to take it off-road and some units even removed their M45 quad mounts and mounted them on top of their halftracks (against regulations). Both the M16 MGMC and the M51 MMGC were made by Agus, and the wheels on the M51 were made by Remdul.

Next up we have a brand StuG variant for the German troops serving in Normandy; the Sturmgeschütz IV or StuG IV.

On December 6-7, 1943, it was suggested to mount the StuG III Ausf. G superstructure on the chassis of a Panzer IV. This addition allowed the StuG IV to be more quickly produced than the Jagdpanzer IV, and thus, the StuG IV was born. The combat weight of this assault gun was lighter than that of the StuG III and to make up for the large lack of III's, the StuG IV was given full support. Around 1,000 of these assault guns were produced and they proved themselves as valuable tank killers, especially on the Eastern Front. The StuG IV was armed with a primary 7.5cm StuK 40 L/48 cannon, with an additional Mg34 mounted on the top deck. The StuG IV was made by Toddel.

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