Well, I really liked how that map played. So, I have been remaking it for FH2 and, hopefully, continued to improve upon it.

I'm setting this map as part of Operation Dragoon; the invasion of Southern France that is often forgotten. My grandfather took part in Op Dragoon as an artillery battery commander in the 42nd Rainbow Division. So, I rather like the idea of making some maps from those battles. My plan for Woodrun, should I get to it, is to radically change it to represent the 887th Airborne Engineer Aviation Company that landed inland before the amphibious assaults on the southern coast. Yes, that was their unit in all of it's wordy glory. The only glider trained combat engineering unit that actually carried out the mission they were trained for.

The map is being designed to take full advantage of rally points and will either be a 3 flag map OR a 4 to 5 flag map with the city area having 2 or 3 flags inside of it of lesser value. The artillery base is going to have to be a non-spawn flag I think; otherwise it will be nearly impossible to dig anyone out of it. It has a lot of bunkers and trenches lining the hill and will require advanced infantry skills and combined arms to assault. Unless the defenders are just sitting in a bunker room playing "toss the bandage" with each other, this is no drive in fast and dump out to gray flag.

You can't see it on the minimap, yet, but there is a ford to cross the river north of the southern "island" leading up towards the artillery base. I still have more work to do, add some more bridges, extend the rail lines, flesh out a few areas and build in the mains. Then it's time to texture and light map. Shooting to be ready for the scrims.

Thanks to Squarebasher for converting the terrain over to BF2 for me.
