Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week we are showing off the new map 'Falaise Pocket', but before we go to the screenshots we would like to welcome a few new developers. We have added as many as 3 new mappers to our team in the past few weeks; Fuchswiesel, who made today's map, Sorken and Spaetzle. Welcome to the development team guys!
After the German lines in Normandy were broken, during Operation Cobra, Hitler felt that the situation could be turned around, by attacking the flank of the allied advance and cutting the advance off. Most German generals however, saw the looming threat of encirclement and only a month later they were proved right. The offensive at Mortain had failed and the allies were now on all sides of the German army. As the situation became clear, the German army had to make increasingly desperate attempts to break out of the pocket. This map focuses on the small town of St. Lambert-sur-Dives, in the middle of the 'Falaise Gap' (the hole in the pocket through which the Germans could escape). The map was made, as mentioned earlier, by Fuchswiesel.
