Yes, I was pretty excited to see this, especially when I saw mention of "bocage".

Finally we can have a believable BAOR style mission. Cold war gone hot.

Gives us an excuse to use our DPM smocks with green trousers, green webbing and SLR's and softcap berets.

Nice. All we need is a Jagdpanzer hiding in the hedgerow. :D

Hedgerow fighting,a damn nightmare. I'd rank it up with close-quarters urban fighting, oh I sure will love this map!  

Citizen Soldiers by Stephen Ambrose describes it best:
"No terrain in the world was better suited for defensive action with the weapons of the fourth decade of the twentieth century than the Norman hedgerows, and only the lava and coral, caves and tunnels of Iwo Jima and Okinawa were as favorable.
The Norman hedgerows dated back to Roman times. They were mounds of earth to keep cattle in and to mark boundaries. Typically there was only one entry into the small field enclosed by the hedgerows, which were irregular in length as well as height and set at odd angles. On the sunken roads the brush often met overhead, giving the GIs a feeling of being trapped in a leafy tunnel. Wherever they looked the view was blocked by walls of vegetation. Undertaking an offensive in the hedgerows was risky, costly, time-consuming, fraught with frustration. It was like fighting in a maze. Platoons found themselves completely lost a few minutes after launching an attack. Squads got separated. Just as often, two platoons from the same company could occupy adjacent fields for hours before discovering each other's presence. The small fields limited deployment possibilities; seldom during the first week of battle did a unit as large as a company go into an attack intact."
