| 12s | campaign of World War |
| 14s | II set in the Belgian region of buling |
| 16s | and the US valiantly tried to hold their |
| 19s | position in the small village of |
| 20s | verville with territory exchanging hands |
| 23s | multiple times between the US and German |
| 25s | forces eventually driven out of bville |
| 28s | the US moved onto Elenor bridge where |
| 31s | they dug in throughout the brutal |
| 32s | December of |
| 35s | 1944 this is a map that caters to many |
| 38s | play stars and |
| 40s | strategies let's take a look at capture |
| 42s | points on the northern part of the ridge |
| 44s | we have gun battery a strong defensive |
| 46s | trench Network that the US forces |
| 48s | utilized to set up their AA guns and |
| 51s | fearsome black dragon artillery guns |
| 53s | once settled they reigned Heavy |
| 55s | Artillery fire onto the Germans down at |
| 57s | verville this capture Point allows |
| 59s | infantry squads to hunker down while the |

| 64s | loine placed North in the countryside |
| 66s | Farah Hilda Farm features a traditional |
| 68s | livestock farm with a blend of Close |
| 70s | Quarters fighting within the Farmstead |
| 72s | and Wide Open Fields for vehicular and |
| 74s | long range combat infantry squads will |
| 77s | have to make tactical decisions when |
| 78s | crossing the Open Fields to reach safety |
| 81s | armor squads will have high visibility |
| 83s | across the vicinity here to cause a lot |
| 85s | of damage attacking from south to North |
| 88s | infantry squads fighting over the fuel |
| 89s | Depo camp capture point will experience |
| 91s | Close Quarters combat with danger |
| 93s | lurking around every corner while |
| 95s | Vehicles will have to provide support at |
| 97s | a |
| 100s | distance the checkpoint was often |
| 102s | featured in World War II to control the |
| 104s | roads in and out of regions it was key |
| 107s | to controlling the main road in and out |
| 108s | of verville so the Germans emphasized |
| 111s | protecting it by using the nearby barn |
| 113s | and protected Hillside for storage and |
| 115s | supplies its Open Fields are a Haven for |
| 118s | armored vehicle support while the hill |
| 120s | side storage provides infantry with |
| 122s | Close Quarters gameplay the changes in |
| 124s | elevation of the Rolling Hills allow |
| 126s | armor squads to utilize their |
| 129s | Firepower moving on to German territory |
| 131s | erdale Farmhouse includes a civilian |
| 133s | themed Farmstead as one of the more |
| 135s | relatively untouched areas by either |
| 138s | forces with a combination of enterable |
| 140s | bars of buildings and contrasting Wide |
| 142s | Open |
| 143s | Fields hinterberg is a forested area |
| 146s | that the US forces originally held the |
| 148s | Germans bombarded it with ar and burnt |
| 151s | it into the ground a key Skirmish that |
| 153s | forced us back to Elenor Ridge the |
| 156s | tricky terrain requires both infantry |
| 158s | and armored vehicles to use the |
| 159s | landscape to their advantage it's here |
| 162s | where the sniper roll can exploit the |
| 163s | long-distance opportunities the US used |
| 166s | the terrain to their advantage and |
| 168s | created fox holes to set up traps for |
| 170s | nearby German patrols this capture Point |
| 172s | depicts a no man's land area with hilly |
| 175s | terrain designed to provide armor with |
| 177s | good Vantage |
| 179s | points with we wanted to accurately |
| 181s | convey the weather that affected troops |
| 183s | in elsenborn Bridge who were subjected |
| 185s | to freezing conditions and blizzards |
| 186s | affecting visibility we needed a system |
| 189s | that could change throughout to reflect |
| 191s | the unpredictability of these conditions |
| 194s | VFX particles were created consisting of |
| 196s | various intensities of snow and we |
| 199s | decided on a set of presets to drive the |
| 201s | intensity of each level of snow this |
| 204s | meant we could tune each scenario in |
| 206s | isolation to adjust the weather |
| 208s | intensity and atmospherics the VFX |
| 210s | scenario was broken down into a set of |
| 212s | presets light snow medium heavy and |
| 215s | Blizzard snow we added the probability |
| 219s | of when the transition between each |
| 220s | stage would occur to add enough |
| 222s | Randomness to it whilst ensuring the |
| 224s | levels of snow to Blizzard stayed |
| 226s | synchronized and consistent |
| 230s | throughout Elenor Ridge will be |
