Post by: Erwin on 18-01-2013, 21:01:34
Forgotten Honor Proudly Presents

PRONE TO STORMS
A brand new Forgotten Hope 2 campaign now open!

  (http://hoststuff.forgottenhonor.com/hoststuff/fh2/Media/camp13/prone_to_storms_ad_shadow.png)

After successfully concluding 2012 with our first joint tournament, we are going to start 2013 with a classic F|H tournament.

This time we will take you from the mountains of Greece, to the hot deserts of North Africa and bloody engagements over Italy and France.

Climb mountains and stand your ground in challenging infantry actions as an infantry soldier.
Cook eggs on the sizzling engine decks of your tank and hit the enemy line in force as a tank crewman.
Enjoy the fresh air and rain destruction from the sky as a pilot.
Support your team by wreaking havoc in the enemy lines with your barrages as an artillery operator.

This campaign will have you experience all the gigantic fighting for the Mediterranean.

The maps that will be played in this twelve battle, action packed campaign include specially made maps for the Forgotten Honor community... Experience World War II fighting from the comfort of your home:
Corinth Canal, Invasion of Cyclades, Sollum, Etna Line, Battle of Ortona and the epic Operation Epsom... we have the lot! In the ONE, single, most intense campaign so far... You don't want to miss it, be a part of it, make it happen.
Will you join the 2nd New Zealand Division of the daring British Army, or the 25th Panzer-Grenadier Division of the mighty Wehrmacht?


2nd New Zealand Division vs 25th Panzer-Grenadier Division

    Join the campaign guys, it's an awesome experience, especially when you enjoy teamplay anyway and like to play on unknown custom maps. Give it a try, it's seriously worth it. I don't only say this for random advertising as it always comes up, this is honestly something you should at least have tried when you enjoy teamplay and FH2.

    Furthermore: Join Allies, we are a nice and skilled bunch of guys you will enjoy to play with ;)

    Give it a try, it is simply the bet way to enjoy proper teamplay in FH2. It's very different from public and adds a lot more to the game than just a little bit of tactics.

    Again:
    -custom maps
    -command structure
    -a lot of very nice people
    -no headless chicken public-action
    -best teamplay experience you could possibly have

    Simply everything is organized perfectly by dedicated admins, modders and officers. The more are joining, the more awesome it will be. I highly suggest to not miss this, not only as F|H member, also as a player that loves FH2 and wants  other people to not miss this opportunity to have a whole different type of fun in FH2, all propaganda aside. This is simply enjoyable.

    If you are unsure and have any questions regarding the tournament, feel free to ask them. All the Forgotten Honor members here will gladly answer them.

    Sidi Muftah

    December 16th, 1941. After three days of bitter fighting, as the 8th Army relentlessly attacks the Gazala line, Rommel orders the Afrika Korps' withdrawal. Now, British troops are about to engage the German rearguard near Sidi Muftah...

    The new gameplay was exciting and refreshing. No flag spawns and fighting focusing around rally points. Cool!

    Don't worry about that ;) Joining tank regiment is a bit more requesting than joining infantry I guess, but those are nice guys in your regiment and will show you what to do, don't worry.

    You've joined the wrong team though :P (jk)

    Don't worry, "tryouts" are just a formality for infantry regiments... Of course if you want to drive tanks or planes they have to make sure you can actually kill something other than yourself with them...

    Thermopyles

    (http://hoststuff.forgottenhonor.com/hoststuff/fh2/13_HallofFame/mapimages/scrim2.png)

    The Olympus line is outflanked and the Allies are on the run, trying to reach their ships in time. But 2 brigades from the British Commonwealth Forces have to cover the retreat, with no hope for victory. The place they have chosen couldn’t match better to their cause. The sacred place of Thermopyles is about to face one more struggle. The Allies, few against many, inspired by the sacrifice of the Spartans nearly 2500 years ago, are determined to hold the Germans for as long as it is needed. They are the last obstacle before the enemy conquers Athens, just like Leonidas and his 300 were standing with no fear against the Persians. In the morning of the 24th of April, the Germans unleash their armored hordes. Glory is about to crown the arms of the defenders of freedom once more…

    FH2 Campaign #13 - Hall of Fame: Prone to Storms

    Majardah River Valley

    (http://hoststuff.forgottenhonor.com/hoststuff/fh2/13_HallofFame/mapimages/scrim3.png)

    TDecember, 1942. Rommel's retreating forces are being pursed across Libya by the British 8th Army. Meanwhile, the British 1st Army and US II Corp have crossed the Algerian border into Tunisia and are pushing towards Tunis and Bizerte. Roughly 30km from Tunis, in the valley of the River Majardah, lies the town of Tebourba, a railway hub and agricultural center, a stepping stone on the path to victory in North Africa. The 11th Infantry Brigade has been ordered to advance up the valley and secure the town with Blade Force, a combined group of armoured and other units from both the US II Corp and British 1st Army, attacking from the North. Being in such close proximity to Tunis, Axis forces will surely make the Anglo-American forces pay in blood for every meter they take.

    Corinth Canal

    Battle 1

    (http://hoststuff.forgottenhonor.com/hoststuff/fh2/13_HallofFame/mapimages/battle1.png)


    After a heroic defense at Thermopyles, the Allies are retreating again. German motorized infantry is at the gates of Athens and the Swastika is about to be raised in the Acropolis. The only hope for the British to gain some time for their routed troops is to demolish in time the Isthmus Bridge. The Germans are aware of that and decide to attempt a paratroop assault on both sides of the bridge to secure it, in the 26th of April. The Axis armored spearhead is not far from the Isthmus, but while the British engineers are placing their explosives on the bridge, German paratroopers fill up the sky above the Corinth Canal."After a heroic defense at Thermopyles, the Allies are retreating again.

    "The British forces in Sicily are desperately trying to reach Messina before the Americans and are ready to risk in order to accomplish that. On their way to the city of Catania, they will have to cross the Simeto River. Capturing the Primosole Bridge intact is vital, so that their tanks can cross the river fast. A large airborne operation is taking place right above the Axis defenders at the Bridge in the 14th of July. The Germans are aware of the importance of Primosole Bridge and have their mechanized reserves in the area, as it is expected for the Allied armoured forefront to reach the battlefield once the bridge is captured.

    Operation Avalanche

    (http://hoststuff.forgottenhonor.com/hoststuff/fh2/13_HallofFame/mapimages/battle10.png)


    History

    Operation Avalanche, Battle 7
     
    Following the defeat of the Axis Powers in North Africa, there was disagreement between the Allies as to what the next step should be. Winston Churchill in particular wanted to invade Italy, which in November 1942 he called the soft underbelly of the axis (and General Mark Clark later called one tough gut). Operation Avalanche - the main invasion at Salerno - began on 9 September 1943. The Avalanche plan was daring but flawed. On 13 September, the Germans launched their counteroffensive.

    Battle of Ortona

    (http://hoststuff.forgottenhonor.com/hoststuff/fh2/13_HallofFame/mapimages/battle11.png)


    History

    Battle of Ortona
     
    By December 1943, the British Commonwealth's advance had broken through the German defences along the Moro river and now prepared to assault the area surrounding the seaside town of Ortona.

    General Montgomery believed that the Germans would retreat north of Ortona, in an area where the terrain provided good natural defence positions and that the coastal city would therefore be an easy prey. Things did not turn out that way… On December 20th, the 2nd Brigade arrived near Ortona. The following day the Loyal Edmonton Regiment got as far as Piazza Vittoria at the entrance of the town. In front of them, the corso Vittorio Emanuele leading to the Piazza Municipale, the heart of the city. Narrow side streets were blocked by barricades and rubble left by the Germans. The wide-open corso, the only street that tanks could use was booby-trapped. The Canadian infantry had to clear its way through houses on the side before moving forward, a dangerous and difficult task.

    The Canadians were first engaged by the 2nd Battalion of the Luftwaffe’s 3rd Parachute Regiment. This battalion bore the brunt of the defence until 24 December, by which time losses and exhaustion, added to the increasing weight of the Canadian attack, convinced General Heidrich, then commanding the 1st Parachute Division, to commit his divisional reserve, the 2nd Battalion of the 4th Parachute Regiment. The close-in nature of street fighting meant that the battle could not be controlled much above the section or squad level, and references to battalions or even companies are misleading. It is reckoned that little more than 100 paratroopers were in action in the town at any given time, with others resting in the town’s cellars and, particularly, its railway tunnels or they were re-deploying.

    On December 27th, Allied Reinforcements were brought in and German paratroopers could not keep on fighting without relief. So on December 28th, they abandoned the city to the Canadians. The victory was a costly one: the Loyal Edmonton Regiment had 172 casualties, including 63 killed; the Seaforth Highlanders 103, including 41 killed. Taking into account losses by support units, the total number of Allied casualties reached 650 officers and men of all ranks.

     WOw, Ortona is looking much better than the last time I saw it played I hope you guys got the warping issues sorted out that plagued the release of the F/H italy map pack.


     On a related note, while your map description is somewhat accurate, I have a few minor quibbles about the estimated strength of the germans and their presumed rest locations.

     Advance reconnaissance of the fortifications by the Canadians actually underestimated the German presence (it was believed to be company strength plus support elements) but in the end it turned out to be an almost full strength battalion of Fallschirmjaeger's with Pionier (company sized) and Artillerie support to the tune of 2-120mm mortar and approximately 6-82mm mortar's.

     I was a 72 Seaforth highlander for 5 years and many of the men who fought there and their Loyal Eddie counterparts have related many stories of the artillery fire being non-stop and extremely well-sighted as the german's had actually pre-fixed their mortars by preliminary targetting of the civilian population with a focus upon strategic chokepoints that were heavily defended by elevated German MG positions supported by sniper nests.

     With respect to the rest and recuperation points, the Germans actually encamped to the north of the town in a series of farms and their intelligent battalion commander saw fit to retreat his forces every evening so that his men were in tip-top fighting condition the following day. The cellars of the Old town being a presumed safe location has become an urban myth as they were crammed full of civilians who for the most part, never saw fit to actually evacuate the town of Ortona when given the likely signs of imminent invasion. (stubborn Italian's)

     finally, (I kind of apologize for text-walling), the Allied tanks while prevented from accessing the main roads did actually enjoy a fair degree of movement within the town itself (along side streets) and were actually crucial to the resupply strategy of the Canadian's by being employed as mobile pillboxes, ammo re-supply points and as medical evacuation ambulances. The success of this idea is actually part and parcel to the later development of the Kangaroos and other Heavy armoured APC during the campaign's of 1944 in North-Western Europe.

     For the Canadian elements, command and control was at the battalion level for the entire battle but company commanders were given extreme latitude in achieving their objectives which is the reason why many historical accounts attribute leadership to have been exercised at the unit and sub-unit levels.


     I wish all competitors in this upcoming fight all the best and this proud Canadian wishes that I could take part but unfortunately Friday Fh battles are held at an hour which is completely incompatible with work and school schedules due to the timezone changes.


     Fingers crossed that you guys do another Italy map pack release someday so the FH2 pubbies can enjoy your hard-earned creations. (and perhaps bring you a new whack of recruits)
