Because in 14th of December, 1939, the Soviet Union was thrown out of League of Nations?

Probably because there were only 10 days left for Christmas

We want to release Normandy as quickly as possible, so as soon as the required playermodels and weapon animations are done, we will release. What maps will be ready at that time, we're not sure. At the moment we have 4 maps that are almost done and a lot more that are being worked on.

Well, you should add vital vehicles to that list. Not sure which vechicles are considered vital yet, but to give an idea, the new shermans that are used in Normandy are considered vital for example.

Beregil has done an awesome job with this map.

Excellent choice of implementing the PDH mission.

Will the map be used twice? One, as the Rangers on daytime offense (where the defenses were less effective due to the craters)... and second, when they used the german defenses to their advantage while defending overnight?

That would be pretty epic. I don't think it's going to be the case initially, maybe later along the line.. It would take some redesign of the flag layout and defenses.
