Hello again!

 

Thanks for all the likes and comments so far! It really means alot to see so much support for this project. Below some pictures of the NBS. The NBS were ex- resistance fighters whom were turned into an interior fighting force when parts of the country got liberated in 1944. Equipped by the allies the NBS was tasked with helping out the allied forces in any way possible and carry out arrests in the name of the fatherland. These awesome shots were made by Zhivets and feature a sten gun from Faces Of War (We will eventually have our own)

I'm sure a lot of you have been eager to hear some news about the mod, so I'm happy to share with you some of the team's latest progress. Keep in mind that much of the content pictured is very much subject to change.

Please note that some of the assets pictured are stand-ins from other mods until we have more stuff of our own to showcase.

 

Alongside all this, the team has recently gained several talented new members who've been working on some lovely new content which I'm sure they'll be ready to show soon™, so stay tuned.

Very psyched up for this one, guys! Question: for the British Sector of Market Garden map, are you doing Oosterbeek, Driel or are you going to try and go so far as to make the western side of Arnhem up to the John Frost bridge?

The British Sector map will cover roughly this area.

Can't say that I expected Wolfheze or Ginkel Heath, but I am pleasantly surprised! Thank you for your reply!

Hi lsk323941, 

 

The retexture pack is just something i made for my unit. Wich shares the same name as this. I also use that to test some things from time to time. But this is not the forum for that particular project. This is for the Forgotten Fronts: Holland mod wich is still being worked on.

That being said. Let me update you all a bit on the project. It has been a while. 

 

Work continues with the great input of all developers and external helpers. the project is really shaping up to much, much more than i couldve ever hoped and learning along the way i myself, and some of our modelers often re-do items for the sake of quality. Wich means it takes some time for us to have something we are happy with to show you guys. Most of our updates have been on discord. However allow me to show you guys some more stuff. 

 

The Dutch Faction

The dutch faction has had some upgrades since the last time i showed them. More work will be done on variation and ranks for the dutch. But i havent found the time to do so yet. They are still the main focus of this mod.

Other Stuff/ Etc. 

 

For other stuff we have been working on some buildings togheter with lennard from faces of war. We have also taken on some Spanish Civil War assets from our spanish brothers from GCE. Wich will be worked on alongside the content for Forgotten Fronts: Holland.

Spanish Nationalist Forces (Spanish Civil War)

 

Other than that plans and guidelines have been set for a release, and plans are being made for after said release. We really just want this to be as polished and purrrfect when we release it. We plan to add more early war factions from the lowlands as we progress in the project. 

 

P.S. for the recent spike in developement i really want to thank Simcardo, Petrlach and Rikugun for alot of help on assets and sharing their work, without them this simply wouldnt have been possible.

I'm really keen on seeing your new Maps! If they are suited (big enough)  I have a cool idea for a mission.

Hi Part,

 

The terrain I'm working on will be big enough to cover ALL Commonwealth movement during the landings and the action in Oosterbeek and Wolfheze. The map features all Landing and Drop Zones. It even supplies the Supply Zone Y which was ambushed by German forces just northwest of Arnhem. Because it is hard to make a good looking city with the limited amount of assets I have at my disposal I could not bring myself to doing it. The map is made with Dutch and Allied maps from the time and I try to recreate is as good as I can, with a very small amount of freedom to work around missing assets and to prevent a too big of a workload. 

 

If I don't forget I shall post some more images of the terrain in the near future to keep you guys updated to that aswell.

Quick question: did FF and GCE merge or are they still separate? Do they have their own forum?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Forgotten Fronts has merged with GCE due to a lack of time on the spanish side of things. we're currently giving the GCE assets a quality update and we're planning to include it within FF later on. After we finish our own release goals of course.

Hey guys, 

Due to a recent falling out in the team the dev team has decided to remove Schwienny from the developer role. We're working towards getting new terrains and we are actively training a new terrain designer. In other news, I've updated all posts with outdated content.. including the main thread. go take a look! it's worth it

With this set back, are you guys able to disclose what terrains are coming now? Or is it still hush hush until you lads want to show 😉

Sadly not at this time. We are working towards getting an Ockenburgh Airfield terrain into ArmA to replace the one that was set for release. All other map projects have been scrapped until we have some manpower on the terrains side. If there will be a map at release is hard to tell at the moment.
