What could a "dead stick" be?

Turkish007 check this  ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Deadstick

So the waiting is finally over? It looks like we're getting next version at last :D

Pfft, this one is obvious:

:P

On the other hand, it could either be the release, or some new piece of equipment (was the Horsa glider ever officially featured in the news?)

Kasztelan is right. Horse-horsa glider , dead stick-operation deadstick. But how did you connected and find that?

Even if its a new version we wont have anything eastern front related for sure. Not even the USSR playermodels have been shown.

Showing playermodels is quite easy, don't you think? Not shown =/= not ready. Almost everything else you need to have a new faction in game had been shown already, just check this (http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/fh2_weapons.php?country=5) and this (http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/fh2_vehicles.php?country=5). So... who knows? But unfortunately:

Once again I have admired the work of the mappers. The detail is very satisfying.

The map really looks great. But, considering the bridge and all, I was wondering: will it feature an AI navmesh from the start?

I doubt that, it's almost never a case with new maps.

So glad we can show the map off. This map is so detailed it'll blow your mind. Def gonna be one for the FH2 historical pictures thread :)

Nice but I really don't understand the presence of the destroyed panzer 4, did the British paratroopers fought against tanks ?
Maybe that's for a daytime counter attack version of the map with Brits holding until reinforcements arrive but still I'd love an explanation.
Also the damaged house next to the perfectly intact cheateau looks really weird.
Apart from that I think it's just pure awesomeness! :)

Yup, the '64' layer is the counterattack the Germans mounted during the day to take back the bridges. The small '16' layer depicts the attack on the bridge at night.

Post by: Hauggy on 02-09-2015, 03:09:59

Oh nevermind apparently one Panzer 4 was blown up with the only PIAT available and all the others withdrew after it's explosion the day of the counter attack.
I wonder if you pushed realism so far that we'll get a German gunboat crashed into the bank and the bomb that failed to detonate.
Also how about the No. 82 grenade ? Will we have some ?

I just found this gem while watching a French documentary "Les Grandes Batailles" (best serie of documentaries I've ever seen) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAiu0G2M5s
From around 36 min you can see Lord Lovat explaining what happened that day and how he arrived at Benouville bridge (now called Pegasus bridge), you can see his bagpipe player Bill Millin crossing the famous bridge while playing what must be "Road to the Isles" but honestly I can't tell.
At least you'll understand the "sorry I'm late" he adds he was just 2 minutes late (for the relief). :)
What amazed me is no matter what battle it's about almost everybody speaks French wether they are Soviet, U.S., Brits...Etc.

IIRC there was a Focke Wulf flyby and bomb explosion but it didn't work/look good so it was removed.

Yep, raspberry, you are correct. This getting like the "what is the colour if the boathouse at Hereford?" Scene in Ronin ...

None of them were used during the battle.

Sticks can be dead. Did you know that? If not, you should go outside, sit down and contemplate life itself.

Also, horses should not be beaten with sticks. Sticks won't hurt the horse much, but the horse can hurt you.

Looking great, guys!  I know we've seen it before, but it's still nice to see the minimap and get a feel for how the games will look.  Here's hoping that an AI release will come quickly after the release of the map :)

There wasn't much of a fight during the night IRL, hence capturing the brigde is on the smallest layer, but there is an alternative, smaller, day version for 32 players, with Pegasus Bridge only. It's similiar in size to FH1's Pegasus, with the expection of Germans attacking only from the Chateau de Benouville (NW flag) instead both sides of the northern bank of the river.

Yes, at least one german sniper pickup kit, I'm 100% sure about.
