    This usually happens when a campaign map has not been released yet. You will have to wait until it is released.

    Today we are announcing our usual christmas event, which will be live on the servers starting this coming Saturday. Along with it comes version 2.67 that will soon be out to download through the launcher. We also share new renders for content that will be used in this event. Posted by CptBocquier on Dec 16th, 2025 Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. And so this is Christmas (War is not over). We will be running a new event over the Christmas season, bringing with it a few unofficial maps made by the FH2 and CMP team. The event will run with the map list below over the following weeks: Saturday 20th December to Sunday 4th January The map list will be the following official maps: Bastogne Eppeldorf La Hardt Forest Meuse River Operation Mars Pogostje St. Vith Verdenne As well as the following updated maps: Foy Hatten-Rittershoffen Herrlisheim La Gleize Operation Little Saturn The Storm Valirisk In 1915, the Russian military began developing aerosleds, or 'aerosani,' based on commercial designs. These vehicles were used for reconnaissance, communication, transporting supplies, and medical evacuation. Initially equipped with unarmed three-ski models like the ANT-IV, NKL-6, and NKL-16/37, it was not until after the Winter War that the Red Army fully recognized their importance - not only in logistics but also in direct combat. By the end of 1941, the lack of mounted armament on the NKL-16 aerosleds became a critical disadvantage, prompting the development of the NKL-26, a new armored and armed model with similar capabilities. Designed by N. M. Andreev and M. V. Veselovsky, the NKL-26 was operated by a two-person crew. It featured four individual skis, and its hull was constructed from plywood reinforced with a 10 mm armored plate at the front, which included an observation hatch for the driver/mechanic. The vehicle was equipped with a circular pedestal mount on top, fitted with a 7.62 mm DT machine gun for the commander/gunner. The NKL-26 retained the same powertrain as the NKL-16, using the M-11 five-cylinder, air-cooled radial aviation engine. This engine provided an operational speed of 30–50 km/h on ice. Mass production of the NKL-26 began in December 1941. Aerosani battalions began operations in January 1942, integrated with combined arms units, primarily ski battalions, while occasionally conducting independent missions on the Northwest Front, the Moscow Front, and in the Staraya Russa area. The winter campaign of 1942–43 marked the peak of aerosled deployment, with the most effective units operating on frozen rivers and lakes, such as Lake Ladoga and Lake Ilmen, as well as in the coastal regions of the Gulf of Finland and on the Karelian Front. Their most renowned combat action took place during the Novgorod–Luga offensive in January 1944, where aerosani played a decisive role in establishing a bridgehead south of Novgorod. Our NKL-26 was made by Jeandiz and Matt Baker. In February 1943, the German Army General Staff explored the possibility of mounting a self-propelled 12.8 cm gun on a super-heavy tank chassis, intended for infantry support and engaging armored targets at ranges up to 3,000 meters. Emphasizing firepower and thick armor over speed, Henschel developed the Tigerjäger Ausf. B, mounting a 12.8 cm KwK L/55 gun in an elongated Tiger II "Tiger H3" chassis with a front casemate. The suspension, designed by Porsche, was similar to that of the Panzerjäger Tiger (P) "Ferdinand" tank destroyer. The first Tigerjäger Ausf. B prototypes, later renamed the Jagdtiger, were produced in February 1944. Weighing 70 tonnes, the vehicle featured 250 mm of frontal armor on the casemate and 80 mm on the sides and rear. It was equipped with the Winkelzielfernrohr 2/1 optic, offering 10x magnification and a 7-degree field of view for aiming the main gun. In September 1944, a new suspension system developed by Henschel was introduced for series production. That same month, Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 512 and 653 were fully equipped with Jagdtigers. Their crews were composed of battle-hardened veterans, many of whom had previously fought in Italy, Tunisia, and on the Eastern Front, including during the failed Tiger II's assault at Oględów in August 1944. The Jagdtiger saw its first combat during Operation Nordwind, the German offensive against U.S. and French positions in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Alsace, and Lorraine regions. However, the operation revealed the tank destroyer’s limitations: its poor mechanical reliability and mobility rendered it largely ineffective. At the start of Nordwind, only two Jagdtigers reached the front due to numerous breakdowns during transit. A few more arrived later to support the 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division and 21. Panzer-Division’s Kampfgruppe Liehr, participating in heavy armored engagements at Hatten-Rittershoffen. Following this, Jagdtigers continued to see limited action in Germany and Austria until the end of the war in Europe. A total of 85 Jagdtigers were produced by April 1945. Ours was made by FHSWMan, Stubbfan and Matt Baker. We would like to give a special thanks to Forgotten Hope Secret Weapons for this beast. This Jagdtiger was based on the Kingtiger made by AceS and Rad. We took the opportunity to update the render of this Forgotten Hope 1 veteran :

    CMP FH2 Campaign #18: The Rising Sun Battle #8: Guadalcanal History "The World War II Battle of Guadalcanal was the first major offensive and a decisive victory for the Allies in the Pacific theater. With Japanese troops stationed in this section of the Solomon Islands, U.S. marines launched a surprise attack in August 1942 and took control of an air base under construction. Reinforcements were funneled to the island as a series of land and sea clashes unfolded, and both sides endured heavy losses to their warship contingents. However, the Japanese suffered a far greater toll of casualties, forcing their withdrawal from Guadalcanal by February 1943. When Japanese troops arrived on Guadalcanal on June 8, 1942, to construct an air base, and then American marines landed two months later to take it away from them, few people outside of the South Pacific had ever heard of that 2,500-square-mile speck of jungle in the Solomon Islands. But the ensuing six-month Guadalcanal campaign proved to be the turning point of the Pacific war. Strategically, possession of a Guadalcanal air base was important to control of the sea lines of communication between the United States and Australia. Operationally, the Battle of Guadalcanal was notable for the interrelationship of a complex series of engagements on the ground, at sea, and in the air. Tactically, what stood out was the resolve and resourcefulness of the U.S. Marines, whose tenacious defense of the air base dubbed Henderson Field enabled the Americans to secure air superiority."

    CMP FH2 Campaign #18: The Rising Sun Battle #7: Roi Namur History "The battle of Roi (1 February 1944) saw the US marines captured the main Japanese airbase in Kwajalein Atoll in a single day, after the Japanese defences were almost destroyed by the pre-invasion bombardment. Roi and Namur were to be attacked by the Northern Attack Force (Task Force 53) under Rear Admiral Richard L. Conolly and the Northern Landing Force, made up of the 4th Marine Division (Major General Harry Schmidt). Admiral Conolly commanded the invasion from the command ship USS Appalachian. Admiral Conolly's attack force consisted of three old battleships, 2 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers 10 destroyers, 2 high speed transports (APDs), 3 escort carriers, 12 LCIs and 4 mine sweepers. Roi Island was almost clear of ground cover, as it contained the biggest Japanese airfield in the atoll, with three runways, four turning circles, two service aprons, two hangers, thirty revetments and a control tower. The island is 1,250 yards north-south and 1,200 yards east-west. The airfield on Roi was the HQ of all Japanese air power in the Gilberts and Marshalls. Roi and Namur were connected by a beach on the lagoon side and a causeway half way between the atoll and the ocean. The ocean side was unsuitable for landings, but at high tide the reefs on the lagoon side were under water. The plan was to capture a number of outlying islands on D-Day, then invade Roi and Namur from the lagoon side on D+1 (1 February 1944). Roi was to be attacked by the 23rd Regimental Combat Team, which was to land two regiments side by side on Red Beaches 2 and 3. A wave of LCI(G)s and armoured LVTs would lead the way, with the troops following in amphibious tractor. On 29 January TG 58.2 (Essex, Intrepid and Cabot) attacked Roi-Namur, where the Japanese still had 92 aircraft. The carrier attack quickly eliminated the threat, and no Japanese aircraft were in the air after 0800. The same group attacked again on 30 January."

    CMP FH2 Campaign #18: The Rising Sun Battle #6: Kwajalein The Problem with the Friendly Fire Kwajalein 1944 The US Army dedicated about 25% of its strength to the pacific, about 22 divisions and associated air forces. The remaining 75% was focused on the European and Mediterranean theaters, but the Army was by no means an after thought in the Pacific Theater. Operation Flintlock conducted in the Kwajalein Atoll was one of the lesser known battles in the Pacific but it was nonetheless complex, with battles fought on seven main islands scattered over a large area, and made more complex by the by-passed Japanese garrisons that had to be reconnoitered and cleared. The Southern island of Kwajalein was attacked by the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army who had seen action earlier in the Pacific, though the conditions were quite the opposite. They had previously fought in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands, on the island of Kiska. During that Operation there were noted friendly fire incidents and therefor later on you see the use of colored panels worn by troops. (click on the image to enlarge) The ID panel finds itself being used en masse for this attack along with the camouflage painted helmet, the shell of which is painted a bright yellow and green with hand woven camouflage nets. Kwajalein by Watchtower The Battle of Kwajalein took place from 31 January-3 February 1944, on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Employing the hard-learned lessons of the Battle of Tarawa, the US launched a successful twin assault on the main islands of Kwajalein in the south and Roi-Namur in the north. The Japanese defenders put up stiff resistance, although outnumbered and under-prepared. For the US, the battle represented both the next step in its island-hopping march to Japan and a significant morale victory because it was the first time the Americans had penetrated the "outer ring" of the Japanese Pacific sphere.

    CMP FH2 Campaign #18: The Rising Sun Battle #5: Tarawa History "In order to set up forward air bases capable of supporting operations across the mid-Pacific, the U.S. planned to take the Gilbert Islands. The American invasion force to the Gilberts was the largest yet assembled for a single operation in the Pacific, and the Battle of Tarawa was the first American offensive in the critical central Pacific region. It was also the first time in the Pacific War that the United States had faced serious Japanese opposition to an amphibious landing. The uniform worn by the soldiers on Tarawa was the then brand-new initial production version of the reversible 1942 pattern camouflage utilities. The uniform was reversible, with a dominantly green and brown “jungle” printed camouflage pattern on one side, and a dominantly brown and tan “beachhead” pattern on the other. The helmet camouflage cover was issued in a similar reversible pattern. At this point in the war, the Marines were gradually being issued with the new standard caliber .30 M1 rifle, the iconic "Garand." However, many Marines still retained the Springfield bolt action as they landed on the beaches. " The Battle for Tarawa was a battle in the Pacific. The battle took place on the Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands. Nearly 6.400 Japanese and Americans died in the fighting, mostly on and around the small island of Betio, in the extreme southwest of Tarawa Atoll. The Battle of Tarawa was the first American Offensive in the critical central Pacific region. It was also the first time in the war that the United States faced serious Japanese opposition to an amphibious landing. It was boasted by its defenders that a million Americans couldn't take Tarawa in 100 years. The next 76 hours was to be the crucible for such a struggle
