On this date 60 years ago, the operation to break into Fortress Europe began. The operation was dubbed "Overlord" and consisted of nearly 150,000 troops and over 5,000 naval vessels, most of these forces were comprised by the United States, Great Britain, and Canada, however is also included smaller French, Poland, Italy, Czech, and Belgian units. This frontal assault on the Atlantic Wall combined air, sea, and land combat into one massive attempt to smash this wall, and gain a foothold to engage in the Great Crusade to finally free Europe from German control. The success of this endeavor depended heavily on the unity of the allied nations to complete the goal. It also came at a high price, total allied casualties on D-Day are estimated to be roughly 10,000 including 2500 dead. German casualty's on this day 60 years ago amounted to between 4,000 and 9,000. Today we, the Forgotten Hope Team, as with most of the world, would like to pay a tribute to these men who mostly fought over soil quite far from their own homes and families. The tribute we would like to offer comes in the form of a release. Today we would like to present one of our newest maps, Omaha Beach, Charlie Sector, done by Beregil. We've heard that many servers are going to be running Normandy maps in honor of this day, so we would like to put a newer map out to also honor the occasion. We would like to invite the public to walk in the footsteps of these soldiers, and in doing so, remember the sacrifice that was made 60 years ago on this day. Below you will find some screen shots of Omaha Charlie Sector, and also the download links for the map. This is not a required download for Forgotten Hope, however it comes highly recommended, and you will get disconnected from a server if it is running the map and you haven't downloaded it.

We are receiving reports of paratrooper landings all over the Northern Coast of france, between Cherbourg and Caen. These air drops appear to be scattered and are taking heavy losses from anti-aircraft fire. If the scale of these airdrops holds true, we must be prepared for further invasion forces to arrive in the area shortly.
2 New Battlegrounds Unveiled! by: B.F. Pierce 04.06.2004 22:00 GMT
Welcome to todays update of the Forgotten Hope Mod. First some news regarding the website. Over the next few weeks we are going to be revamping the weapons, vehicles, and maps section with all new images to keep you all up to date as to our status. We will be quick to inform you of when these changes take place, so you can check out all the new content going into the 0.62 and future releases! As we promised today we have quite the update. Today we're showcasing 30 new screen shots of two of our latest level creations! The first map we'd like to showcase today was created by Armin Ace. This is a battle between the Germans and Americans, making utilization of our fall foliage texture set that a lot of you seem to be very fond of. This level is a step forward in bringing you more maps that focus on vehicle combat, to balance off our infantry based maps. Enjoy!
The second map we're showcasing is Kursk Day 1, done by Towbee. Most of you know that this map takes place in the Russian Steppes, and is the largest tanks battle in history, so no shortage of vehicles on this one folks! These screen shots also give you a good glimps of our KV-2 Russian heavy tank in action. Just a note about a couple of the screens, if you take the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th shots of the Kursk screen shots and put them together, they form a small action flip book, just something I noticed when I was putting this together.
That's all for this weeks update, but be sure to keep coming back to our site to check on the progress of the web site changes going into effect quite soon! And as always be sure to stop by our public forums to discuss this news update. See you next week folks!
