Bed for da Deacon

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Without using too many words we are going right for the update presenting two more vehicles ingame. First is the most common truck used by British forces: the Bedford 3 ton lorry. More than 70,000 3-ton Bedfords were produced between 1939 and 1945, in a variety of configurations and were used for all conceivable transport roles, including the movement of troops, horses, machine guns and supplies. The Bedford was originally modeled by Mange, updated and tweaked for BF2 by Lobo, skinned by AaronAsh and Jimbob and Lobo, normal mapped by Lobo and given a brand-new set of tires by Rad.

Next item for today is AEC Mk I Gun Carrier, known as the Deacon. It was a portee made from an AEC Matador/Dorchester mounting a QF 6 pounder anti-tank gun and was employed only during the North African Campaign. The main goal was to provide British troops with a mobile anti-tank weapon. Only 175 were built in total. The Deacon was modelled by ctz and Jimbob, who made also the skin and normal map. Manufacturer of the tires and provider of the tools was Rad. The belonging 6-pounder was created by AaronAsh and TheJackalx2k.

That's all for today, but be sure to come back next week for another Forgotten Hope update. And don't forget to join us on IRC. Feel free to visit our public forums to discuss this update or other news.
