Ardennes Studios Map Pack

Description
Brief Historical About
The last stand at Clervaux Castle, Luxembourg, is not well known, but one of the critical defense actions of the Ardennes Offensive, and a story of great American heroism.
Recreate the classic last stand experienced during the start of the Bulge in the first of several in this exciting map pack. All American soldiers from the 28th were if not captured, killed during the battle.


Factions
Currently, there are two playable factions for this map-pack. The 110th Regiment of the 28th Infantry, as well as the 5th Panzer. Historically, the American’s acted as defenders so all layers will have Americans as the defending team.



Equipment & Uniforms and Vehicles
Much of the equipment will be the standard Post Scriptum gear loadouts. However, the uniforms will reflect the 5th Panzer and the 28th Infantry Division. Expect snow covered gear, snow laden transports as well as winter camouflaged Armor assets.

Here is a brief preview of the reskins you will find while playing on the Ardennes Alamo Map Pack Layers.
The first example is the 28th Infantry Command Jeep. This includes unit specific markings as well as decals reminiscent of the actual jeeps used during the historical battle.



Next up, we have the Sherman Firefly. While historically not used during the battle; in efforts to balance the teams it has been added to the heavy armor deck.



The Map
The Ardennes Alamo Map Pack comprises over 32KM of Northern Luxembourg. The whole map is covered with thick Ardennes Forest with historically accurate roads linking the various cities of the region.



If published all together as a single map, this playable area would encompass a scale which would represent 1/8th of all PS maps combined. In efforts to ease performance, this map has been divided into three sections which will act as the three maps in the map pack.

Size
Currently this is the largest map in the Squad/Post Scriptum engine at a whopping 8km x 8km. It is larger then Skorpo


Layers
Several Offensive layers are planned for each m. These layers will have players pitted over small 3kmx3km areas or extensive areas of land reminiscent of the Arma Series. These sections include Ardennes Alamo, Urspent Watch and Retreat to Munhausen.


Ardennes Alamo
Clervaux is the main focus of the project. The Ardennes Alamo layers will have players fighting to capture and secure the historic Castle Clervaux.
Offensive Layer 1



Offensive Layer 2
<Currently Beta Testing>

Urspent
<Currently resplining>
Munhausen
Currently there is one offensive layer available. This is probably the best area of the map. I’d recommend having a match on this layer to really enjoy the labors of the project.

Progress
We are currently working on Splining some of the areas of the map. Since initial release, we have been working diligently on minimizing performance impacts, while increasing map detail. Over the next few months expect the project to expand in scope and the map to get better.

No trees, bushes or other plants on all 3 maps.

The "bloody bucket" on the helmet is in the wrong location. I know, I have an origial 28th div helmet. It should be on the front. It is also a dark red and not as bright. The "bloody bucket" is also slightly smaller. The also wore a keystone patch on their left arm.
