Hello!
It is Oleksandr from Starni Games with the new Dev log entry. This time we will look at all the new buildings and landmark structures you will have to fight amidst in the new Market Garden DLC.
[b]NEW TALL BUILDINGS[/b]
Market Garden features a variety of new tall city buildings, that could be destroyed by either side. We want to show the difference between Normandy and the Netherlands not only in terms of gameplay but also visually. Here are some examples:

Same as in Normandy, all buildings could be damaged or destroyed and have different states of destruction. Here is an example of a damaged building:

[b]NEW LANDMARKS[/b]
We want to replicate the Market Garden operation in the best way possible. To that end, we recreated some of the iconic landmarks of Nijmegen. So, you will have to fight around these iconic bridges, towers, and fort in Nijmegen.
[b]The Waalbrug[/b]
The arch bridge over the Waal River in Nijmegen is where a lot of iconic World War II photos were taken. Now you can make your own ones in Headquarters: World War II.

[b]The Spoorbrug[/b]
Another key bridge - a railway bridge to be precise - over the Waal River. A place of strategic importance when fighting in a city split by a river.

And the towers near the bridge:

[b]The Kruittoren[/b]
The Gunpowder Tower is a remnant of the old city wall of Nijmegen and is located on the Parkweg, on the edge of the Kronenburgerpark where some of the fighting is taking place in the scenario.

[b]Fort Beneden Lent[/b]
The 19th-century fort’s position allows it to be a useful asset in defending the railroad bridge. And its vicinity.

[b]Belvédère[/b]
The Belvédère is a former watchtower in the Dutch city of Nijmegen.
