With 2.6 just released, I am presenting a historical background video about one of the maps in this new update of Forgotten Hope 2: La Horgne. On the 15th of May 1940 the 3rd Spahi Brigade fought against the German forces at the town of La Horgne, and I go shortly through the history of Fall Gelb, the German operation to defeat France in 1940, and then I visit the various places in the map which portray different aspects of the battle. With two very special guests: Cpt. Bocquier and La Hire, the mappers of this map and two guys who know a ton about the Battle of France in 1940!
