[Map] Battle of Brest (WIP)

[kettcar]

Hi Guys,

today i wanna tell you about my Project for FH2: Battle of Brest

To see the Historic Background, please follow the Link:
Battle of Brest / Wiki





In my Map i want to show you the Streetfight of the 2. US Infantry-Division. The Guys are fighting thrue the city. Clear ist, and go on to the Submarine Harbour. But the Focus is the Streetfight down the Mainroad/ Promenade. From the "Place de la Liberta" to the Harbour. Next Photo is the Place:



you see the mainroad, and in the Background, the Harbour.
The hardest Fights on this Map are still at Mainroad, where a lot of the Buildings are destroyed from the Bombers, they want to hit the Harbour. Another nice Image:

Rare Films about the Battle

2. Infantery Division in Brest (my Favourite Video, you see the old Fotos, and the Places they where taken Today again)

Feedback from you:
Im still working on it and Pictures will follow soon. Im still at creating the Place de la Liberta, The Main Road (with slow down Terrain to the Seaside), and hundrets of Buildings ^^
It is nice, when you give Feedback, find some rare Pictures and Videos too, to give me a good Overview. And have a Suggestion about the Sky and Lights at these September Days.

Buying a book about the subject never hurts, only if they are really expensive.. Anyway, books provide images you will never find on the internet and also info you wont find either.

Found this one: 26 bucks but then I don't know about the shipping costs since I guess you are a Swiss.

Lower one is cheaper but probably has more expensive shipping costs.

And some more stuff:
Medics carrying wounded into air raid shelter, outskirts of Brest.



Some text info always clears the situation up a bit and this text looks good, I scanned it really quick.

Forget that Fuchs, I'm talking to Kett every day when he's mapping.

[Fuchs]

Does your chatting with my client change our contract? I didn't think so.

[Aggroman]

But I think so.
Anyway,
Kett, bin im SWIZZ TS. Komm dann nach, falls du das liest und Zeit hast.

sry, was on the run today  

find some more Pictures. And about the Book, i think its good to have, but i dont know to give money for this   The City Structure is near the same as in 1944. But i dont stop searching, i hope i can give u Shots of some Corners soon

edit: i need infos about the weather atthese september days 1944 

[Fuchs]

It's like 20 euros. Knowledge on paper never hurts Kett  Plus it insures you know way more about Brest then google will tell you.

[kettcar]

hehe, i will think about it.

i make today some Screens for you. So uyou have a little Overview, how the Map looks like.
It´s really importand for me to say: This are First Screens!!
Streets are still under Cunstruction, this are first Steps!! for the Structure. No Details, No Wrecks or something else, no Flagpoints or Hotspots made. !! This Map is not ready in 2 Weeks and the Pics are Editor Shots 

So i hope u like it Guys, and give constructive Feedback^^

You know, that whole "FH2 is going Black and White" thing was an April fool's joke. 

Seriously, though, it looks nice.  I's like to see ti with more cover in the streets (sandbags, rubble, burnt out vehicles, furniture from the houses), but other than that, it looks good.  Nice work.  Looking forward to seeing it when it's further along (and in color).

That was a joke!

[Desertfox]

I support as well but, seriously no black and white?
