Forgotten Hope 2 is an award-winning World War II modification for Battlefield 2TM and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942TM, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942TM featured land, sea and air combat in a way never before seen. It was the goal of the development team to maximize the game experience by adding both a realistic and enjoyable gameplay to FH and now to FH2.
The No.73 and No.74 were designed as an anti-tank grenades in the aftermath of Dunkirk, to cover for the lack of anti-tank guns. These were also missed from the news before the first release.
The No.73 was nothing more than 3.5 lbs of high explosives in a cylindrical container fitted with an Allways fuse. They were issued at the end of 1940, but would be withdrawn within a year. They would see re-use from 1943 without the fuse as a demolition charge. Ours was made by Vic.
The No.74 grenade was a rather unusual grenade that consisted of stabilised nitroglycerine inside a thin glass bulb, that was covered with fabric impregnated with glue and protected by a thin steel shell. Upon pulling the first pin, the shell would fall off, with the second pin arming the fuse. Letting go of the handle would start a 5 second fuse. It was supposed to be thrown against armour, where upon the glass would break and the explosive within would flatten against the plate to act as a type of HESH munition. First issued to the Home Guard in 1940, some of these grenades would find their way into the hands of the Army in North Africa. Ours was made by McGibs.
