St. Vith news

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

Today we are proud to reveal our second map that will be featured in the upcoming patch. This time, you will find yourself not in the hot sandy deserts of northern Africa, but in the cold desolate forests of Europe in winter. The map St. Vith was made by Otolikos.

After the initial confusion following the German assault into the Ardennes, allied forces quickly consolidated, setting up strong defensive positions around important crossroads and villages. One of these strongpoints was the Belgian town of St. Vith, where the 7th US Armored and 106th US Infantry divisions hold their ground against the might of the German Panzers. When they were finally forced to give up their positions, they had delayed the Germans for many crucial days and left St. Vith as a pile of rubble.
