Hooray! I've always wanted to play with the Hafthohlladung . Run up to a Sherman, stick it on, and run like hell 

[Tankbuster]

Do the German AT kits get the Hafthohlladung?

[Ts4EVER]

I don't know, but I guess some might get them.

[Pac-Fish]

Maybe you have to find one around the map like naer a Tank Depot? Basically an AT kit with that extra special  Hafthohlladung

Another way to blow up Shermans

Or tanks in general . Considering how anyone can pick it up

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

Mod of the Year Awards

Before we get on with this week's news, we'd like to remind everyone about voting for Forgotten Hope 2 in the 2011 Mod of the Year competition. The month of December is half over, and the second phase is almost over. You can click on the MOTY image above to vote.

For this week, we are showing off one of the mainstay tanks of the US forces in North Africa; the M3 Lee!



The Medium Tank M3 was an American tank used during the early stages of World War II. Nicknamed the 'Lee' by the British after US General Robert E. Lee, the M3 served two primary purposes. First, it fulfilled the US Army's need for a good solid tank, and the British' need for an immediate delivery of 3,650 tanks. A combination of heavy armor, and a 37mm gun in the turret and a 75mm in the hull meant that the M3 was a good match for its German counterparts. However, the tank was not without its share of shortcomings. It suffered from a high silhouette, poor off-road performance, and its 75mm gun had a limited traverse. As soon as the M4 Sherman was available in large numbers, the Lee was withdrawn from service, but by then, 6,528 had been produced. The Medium Tank M3 'Lee' was made by Pointblank86.

Our winner for this week's screenshot competition is =Capten=Cymro=. You can view the winning submission here.

We are now accepting entries for the week of Dec. 11th. If you think you have the best FH2 screenshot, post them here.

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



With the winter season now upon us, we here at the development team would like to wish all of our fans happy holidays and hope that no matter where you are or what you are doing, that you are enjoying yourself. We would also like to thank everyone who voted for FH2 in this year's Mod of the Year. With the results now public, Forgotten Hope 2 has received an 'honorable mention' in the Player's Choice category. We are very pleased to see that so many people still enjoy our work, even after so many years. Thank you.

And now as our way of giving back, today we are proud to announce the first map that will be featured in the upcoming patch; Battle of Keren by Schism!



    The Battle of Keren was fought from 3 February 1941 to 1 April 1941 between the colonial Italian army defending Eritrea and the invading British and Commonwealth forces. Keren was a town located in the Italian colony of Eritrea and was of strategic importance to both the Italian and the British forces. The road and railway routes through Keren were the key to access the city of Asmara and the Red Sea port of Massawa.

[Tankbuster]

Will the CW have Indians?

[Sommarkatze]

I hope you mean africans XD But yeah, I also wounder that!

Edit:
 My bad! Iam sick and not at 100% here! I thought you were thinking about the italians colonist troops from Africa. (Acaris!)
Thats why I thought it was weird when you asked about indians and I thought you mean indians like Northamerican indians! My bad! XD

[Ts4EVER]

Indians fought in this battle. While it would be nice to have soldiers of other races playable, there is jsut to much work involved for just one map.

[Blackbishop]

Awesome ! Great job !!
