Beginning with U.S. territory in the North we have the 99th Command Centre. An operational centre for the 99th U.S. Division holding out on the Elsenborn Ridge. The Capture Point features a logistical tent, some defensive bunkers, as well as some WW1 trenches to help the U.S. forces dig in.
The Gun Battery Capture Point features a strong defensive trench network that the U.S. forces were able to utilise to set up their AA guns in addition to their fearsome Black Dragon artillery guns. Narratively, once the U.S. forces were settled into the Elsenborn Ridge, they rained heavy artillery fire onto the German Forces down at Wirtzfeld. The visibility due to the bad weather was so poor that a lot of the shots were inaccurate.
With the U.S. forces successfully retreating to the Elsenborn Ridge, the rural environment provided little warmth or comfort, so the U.S. established one of many camps for the troops which included temporary mess halls and medical tents.
The Elsenborn Ridge Capture Point serves as an observation post, and the first line of defence for the U.S. forces. It features a defensive trench network, and an abandoned farm house that the troops would use to take turns in keeping watch throughout the countryside.
Farahilde Farm is a farmstead Capture Point that features a traditional livestock farm, with a blend of close quarters fighting within the farmstead, as well as wide open fields for vehicular and long range combat.
The Road to Elsenborn Ridge features a farmhouse that has been converted into a vehicle repair station for the U.S. forces. As such the once open land is now full of broken vehicles and equipment, providing a lot of opportunities for close quarters combat.
The Dugout Tanks are a defensive position that the U.S. used as a vantage point in the Belgian countryside. Using tank turrets that were previously functional even though the rest of the chassis was broken, the U.S. were able to dig in at a particularly troublesome defensive position against the German Forces. The Capture Point features a strong defensive network, with a wide range of flanking opportunities in the wide open terrain on the flanks.
The Jensit Pillboxes Capture Point features a steep hill that the U.S. utilised to control the main road in and out of Jensit. The pillboxes are temporary structures made from wood and are used to provide devastating ambush opportunities by concealing themselves within the dense forestry surrounding them. It also serves as a staging area for assault forces to move down the map into the German controlled Checkpoint.
The Checkpoint Capture Point is that of a German themed Checkpoint that was often featured in WW2 to control the roads in and out of regions. This particular Checkpoint was key to controlling the main road in and out of Wirtzfeld, so the German Forces put extra emphasis on protecting it by using the nearby barn and protected hillside for storage and supplies.
Moving onto German territory, Erelsdell Farmhouse features a civilian controlled Farmstead, as one of the more relatively untouched areas by either forces, the Capture Point features a more traditional Belgian farmstead with a combination of enterable barns/buildings as well as contrasting wide open fields.
The AA Battery is a Capture Point that has been set up by the German Forces as a means of retaliation against the U.S. Forces on the Elsenborn Ridge. With the exchange of artillery fire through really poor weather conditions being at the narrative forefront, the Capture Point contains an Artillery-themed trench network, surrounded by a mixture of forested areas and open plains that support a variety of tactics and playstyles.
The Supply Cache was originally held by the U.S. Forces. As part of the hasty withdrawal to the Elsenborn Ridge, the U.S. were forced to abandon a lot of the supplies that had been stockpiled, this left the area in a mess and allowed the German Forces to swoop in and steal the remains. The Capture Point is a chaotic space, providing a couple of key buildings overlooking the cap while at ground level, large supply stockpiles provide a lot of cover for infantry focused combat.
During the research phase of Elsenborn Ridge, we learned that the U.S. used the terrain to their advantage quite a lot, and created Foxholes to set up traps for nearby German patrols. The Foxholes Capture Point depicts a no-man’s land area, with hilly terrain designed to provide armour with good vantage points, as well as prominent Foxholes for players to set up ambushes. 
Freelook is something the community has been requesting in the game for sometime and as frequent players ourselves, it has been somewhat of a personal mission to get freelook in the game. Running through fields always has been a risky endeavour with threats always looming. Freelook allows for a 130 degrees horizontal view angle that allows players to scan their peripherals while running, holding a position or even mounted on your MG. This helps to give players more control over their situational awareness which allows for more calculated actions.
For the release of Elsenborn Ridge, we have once again changed the Frontend scene - this time to a full colour night time scene. We wanted to be able to depict the fire and snow which are prominent features in the new map, and perhaps give a sense of the extremities faced during this element of the Battle of the Bulge.
