FRONTLINE NEWS: Visit the Ukraine soon in Tannenberg!

Don’t forget that Verdun is still 65% off just a few more hours, along with everything else in the M2H publisher sale! That includes Verdun, so if you’ve got some friends who haven’t experienced a WW1 artillery barrage yet, now would be a fine time to offer them a little gift.


The new map is known as Ukraine, and represents Ukrainian territory of the WW1 period. It is inspired by a key section of the Eastern Front which saw heavy fighting during the Brusilov Offensive, Kerensky Offensive, major counter-attacks by the Central Powers, and more. Often referred to as the ‘breadbasket of the Empire’, Ukraine was not an independent country when the First World War broke out. Instead the territory was partially owned by Russia, and partly by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Nationalist sentiment was growing, but when the war began there were Ukrainians on both sides of the conflict. Some 250,000 Ukrainians fought for Austria-Hungary, but far more fought for the Russian Empire – 3.5 million.



Have a look at one of our reference images and how it came out in-game.

In-game you’ll find Ukraine to be a largely open map, with the open plains broken up by the distinctive wattle trenches, a few bunkers, and shell craters. Heavy machineguns are particularly well positioned with good lines of sight, so you’ll want to remember that all NCOs can call in smoke barrages, regardless of squad type.



Cheers!
