The White Death - 1940 (conquest)
Miles away from the battle of the Kollaa river in a snowy forested
landscape, Finnish and Russian infantry regiments fight about the
control of an abandoned village in the centre.
Certainly some high skilled Finnish snipers will stop the Russians from wandering around in
the woods... but also the Russians have a trained sniper battalion
prepared for battle.
Which regiment will be able to advance to the control point? Are the Finnish courageos enough to stop the Russian T 26 tanks?

Bir Hakeim - 1942 (conquest)
In the night a German tank battalion again tries to attack the
fortifications of the 1st Free French brigade at the Bir Hakeim Oasis.
The French need to hold their 2 flags. The Germans should never stop
pushing with tanks and infantry, otherwise they are running out of time.

But it is hard for the allies to defend a position without any armor...
Adequate assets for the Free French Forces have to be made for this specific map.

Who would one contact for permissin to use these maps on a server?

There are newer versions of some of these maps and more maps here:
https://drive.google.com/folderv....ive_web
(found here: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/transla....&u=http). A few times I have been able to play some of these maps when they were being played on Japanese servers. I've also taken a quick look at most of the other maps. I'll note a few things about some of the maps which are currently being considered, or I think should be considered, for inclusion in the new mappack.

• Battle of Khalkhin Gol - works on a dedicated server, but I don't find it interesting.
  
• Battle_of_the_Solomon - a map from 2007? I tested it and I think gameplay-wise it's like a smaller variation of Midway, though with some differences. It's not huge - it's 1/4 Midway's area, lacks some of the vessels (battleships, US sub and liberty ship), and Japan has an uncaptureable flag with landing boats and seaplane. I think the map is worth considering. The weapons and vehicle types aren't the most interesting and unique to FHSW, but I think that with and update and perhaps a re-balancing of the vehicles and kits it could be a good map.
  
• Hungary_Urban_Area - Actually, this map has a quite different and interesting choice of available vehicles which makes it very different from the original. The map layout has been changed radically, there are wider streets and more side routes, etc. Gameplay would be nothing like Arnhem. I think it is definitely worth at least a test with players.
  
• KW_Hareukiu - This is something unique - a Korean war map. Unfortunately, the map crashes at the end of the loading on my PC, so I couldn't test it. But from what I gather, it seems promising. Kharkow Winter is a fun map, works with small numbers of players and would be interesting with very different vehicles and weapons. Worth further investigation (how do I make it work?)
  
• Operation_Varsity - I played it once for a few minutes. It wasn't much of a real playing from me, since I had both high ping and low framerate on my PC, but I saw the map and what the gameplay is about. Looks like a good map.
  
• Operation Watchtower - Like Battle_of_the_Solomon but with different, and I think more balanced navies: 2 destroyers, a cruiser and a repair ship for each team, plus a US sub and a Japanese counterspawning torpedo boat. Also it has some tanks for the Americans. I think it is better than Battle_of_the_Solomon and would need less modifications. The map is worth a test.
  
• Salerno-1943 - I played this map a little with a few guys. The main feature (at least from what I saw) is the modified Flettner with 2 passenger seats on it. There are 2 Flettners with which the Axis can quickly transport troops into the battlefield. I liked it.
  
• Western_Front_Mountain - I played this once or twice and it was fun. It does show a huge amount of effort put into it.
  
• Westminster-1942 - This does look like an interesting map I would like to try.
  

• Arctic Convoy - This map has some performance issues. All those maps with the snow effect have low framerates, which I've seen people complain about several times. I think the snow effect is causing it. If it can't be fixed, I think it should be removed. Also, Arctic Convoy's loading is unusually long. I usually Alt+Tab out of the game during the whole map loading process, but on Arctic Convoy specifically, I have to wait some more time (maybe 20 seconds) after I Alt+Tab back in the game. Apparently there's a significant part at the end of the loading process that is not being executed while the game is in the background. I suspect others are waiting a lot, partly due to this issue. It would be nice if something can be done about it.
  

These maps could be interesting, but I haven't tested them yet:

• Tank_Destroyer_Battalion
  
• NEW_DAWN - A naval map
  

• Foy Classic and Road to Ramelle - I was never interested in these maps. If it turns out that many don't like them and they are removed, then sorry for the wasted effort on them.
  
• Spurning Fate Night/Day - These maps are OK for me. I wouldn't mind playing them in the future.
  

The maps which I didn't say anything about I'm generally not very interested in playing on the server. I don't mind if they're in or out of the mappack.
