History

Operation Fustian, Battle 3

The overall British objective in Sicily was to drive as quickly as possible up the east coast to the town of Messina and cut of the retreat of axis forces in the centre of Sicily. If Messina fell then no Axis units could escape to the Italian mainland and they naturally did not allow this to happen. As a result it did not take long for the British advance from the beaches to slow down. In a prelude of what was to come, the narrow mountainous terrain made any fast armoured pushes an impossibility and the axis defenders made good use of the terrain to hide their forces and make constant ambushes. It seemed there was a sniper in every hill and an AT gun around every corner.

The only good news for the British was the Catania Plain, a wide seemingly featureless section of ground and good tanking country. The problem was that running down the middle from west to east was the Simeto River. The only real way across was the Primosole Bridge. In a daring move, General Montgomery ordered the 1st Airborne to launch an aerial assault to take the bridge. Alas for the British, the bridge was already defended by paratroopers – The elite German 3rd Paratrooper Regiment.

The initial British attack soon fell apart, the paratroopers were badly scattered to begin with, and the fierce counter-attacks by the Germans had them in retreat. They managed to hold onto the bridge for a few hours but were soon driven back into the hills to the south. Finally XII Corps arrived with Sherman tanks and prepared to launch an attack to take the town. The initial counterattack was a simple frontal charge and ended in disaster for the British. When one British commander asked to launch a similar attack with another of his battalions he was told by Lieutentant-Colonel Pearson of the 1st Airborne “Well if you want to lose another bloody battalion that's the right way to do it.”

With Pearson’s help they crossed the river a few hundred metres up stream at night and launched a full counterattack the next morning. British Shermans charged across the bridge taking heavy casualties but the Germans were in disarray and finally broke and withdrew.

The victory was not to last. German forces regrouped further north near Mount Etna and formed the Etna line, their last defensive position before Messina. As the British advance came to a halt, the Allied attention shifted westward to the rapidly advancing American forces under General Patton….

12th July,

In the early morning, the rumble of planes are heard over head. Men and machines moving along the road mesh into one symphony. As they move onwards not knowing what awaits them. A privet off to the left takes one last look at his girls photo before the battle they all know could be around the next bend. Nothing is said, each man walking in his own thoughts. The men in the air are waiting for there time in the spot light. There time to shine. As I ride along and write this I can't help but wonder if this will be my time. I was sent over here to write the new but as I can see now I am in it. I am becoming apart of history.

More stuff for FH2

Sorken is one of our veteran developers and a man who wears many hats. He helps out with mapping, moddeling, skining, graphics, leading and planning. As perfectionist, his maps are on our top quality.

This week we want to show you a guard house and a 2 set house building designed by Sorken. Also, next to these statics there's an Italian bunker which was designed by Herc.

Forgotten Honor Tournament presents the first campaign playing Forgotten Hope 2.2: Normandy 1944.

In previous campaigns we have fought in the deserts of northern Africa, in the hills of Greece and in the towns of Italy. In this campaign we will move to France and fight on the beaches and the lush green countryside of Normandy. From frantic fighting on the beaches and ambushes among hedgerows to large scale engagements between tanks and airplanes.

Throw yourself in the mud for cover, fight through hedgerow after hedgerow, brace for shellshock as the ground around you is pounded by artillery fire and have faith in your company mates when you assault your objective. Every week your team's skills and planning will be tested against an equally determined foe.

When you join this campaign, Forgotten Honor: Normandy 1944, you will experience:

Forgotten Honor Tournament has a wide experience in arranging campaigns for Forgotten Hope 2 and many other games. We are an international online community of players, created by players, run by players and maintained by players. We always strive to make the best campaigns for you, and our team of organizers and talented mappers are proud to announce this campaign open for signups. Both the allied and the axis side eagerly await your enlistment and will gladly guide you to victory.

Old Campaign #4 won by Axis Division

After months of preparation Forgotten Honor is ready to present to you a new theatre: Italy.

Over the last 3 months our team of almost two dozen mappers, moddelers and graphic artists have worked on this campaign so that every single map will have that unique Italian feeling. There will be no reused old maps with a few minor changes. Each map has been made from scratch using actual battle plans and geographical data from the period.

Italiy is very different from Africa. Hilly terrain and dense vegetation provides many flanking opportunities and the introduction of new hand held antitank weapons finally allows infantrymen to effectively fight off enemy tanks.

For those that don't know anything about Forgotten Honor and are asking what exactly a "campaign" is, here is a brief explanation:

Every week until the campaign ends we will release a new map and each Friday a 64 player battle will take place. Players will be divided in two teams, with a command structure based on actual World War II units. No previous experience is needed and everything is completely free. Just click on the picture, join and enjoy Forgotten Hope 2 on an organized level.
