Warfront v3.02 Patch and Mappack for you!

Thought I'd make everyone's weekend a little funner...I give you the 3.02 Patch, with 5 new maps :)

First up, The Battle of Ortona...

 

This map comes to the 'Front by way of the FH Fan Mappack #4. I don't know who the original author is, but I give whomever made this map much credit, it's a great one :) I have added AI to it, and the bots really fight hard for the church...I actually haven't made it past them to the city yet! Fitting, really, considering that the men that fought this battle called it the Italian Stalingrad.

Up next, Operation U-Go, in Burma...

 

This was a last ditch effort by the Japanese to push the Allies out of Burma. It's based on the map "Burma" from the FH Fan Mappack #4, but again, no author was listed. I have added AI to this map as well, and it plays very well.

 

I have also fixed the issue with the Single Player version of the Ho-Ni, so you can enjoy it on this map as well as a few others.

Next, we have the Battle at Chartres...

 

 This battle was fought in August of '44, around the city of Chartres, France. It gained noteriety because of the actions of US Colonel Welborn Barton Griffith, Jr.

 

After receiving orders to destroy the cathedral in Chartres, he questioned this order, and ultimately refused to carry it out. He volunteered to go behind enemy lines to find out whether the Germans were using it as an observation post. Griffith went to the cathedral and, after searching it, confirmed that it was empty. The order to destroy the cathedral was withdrawn.
I have added AI to this map as well, and it plays decent. Some games are pitched, and some are not. It could definitely use a makeover by an AI wizard :)

Next up, the Battle of Santa Cruz...

This map was in a previous release but was removed so I could work on the AI. It's back, and it plays pretty decent. The island battles aren't the greatest, but the air battles are pitched and full of non-stop action, so enjoy :)

And last, the defense of Trois-Ponts...

This map comes to us from knoffhoff, who originally made it for the FH mod (credit to him for an excellent map). I have converted it to Warfront, and in doing so bring 2 new vehicles to the mod.
The GMC CCKW was a 2½-ton 6x6 cargo truck that saw heavy service in WWII. The original "Deuce and a Half", it formed the backbone of the famed Red Ball Express that kept the Allied armies supplied as they pushed eastward after the Normandy invasion.

 

Also making it's debut on the 'Front is the M2A1 105mm Howitzer. It was the standard U.S. light field howitzer during WWII, and it quickly gained a reputation for accuracy and a powerful punch. This gun is also found on several vehicles in the game, such as the Priest and the M4A3(105).
