Default Re: New Finnish OOB

Newest version is in testing and should be ready soon. There has been changes since 6.1, here's a list of some of them:

-Corps Artillery formation added (12 tube battalion used by high command, uses 130, 150, 152 K 89 and 155 K 83 guns)
-JSOW (C-version) used in Hornets 2010-->
-Cavalry is removed from use -47 (as mounted on horses that is, cavalry units remain, but they train dismounted like any other infantry)
-Added big bunch of vehicles (utility vehicles, trucks, prime movers) used by FDF. Most important models are added (thanks to Mäkipirtti's excellent books on subject I just received)
-Changed some naming routines in formations for simplicity's sake
-DM53-A1 (120mm L44 WG01, penetration 87) used 2007 -> (Rheinmetall (maker of the ammo) gives info that Finland and Denmark use DM53-A1 (in news archive 2006, about danish procure of DM33A2 PELE and DM53 and again about danish tests of DM53). In Finland the only source talking about buying of new ammunition is the Panssari -magazine 1/2004, which states that new "DM33A2 will be bought in 2007, and this is basically a DM63 with minor differences in propulsion, allowing it to be fired without changing the K600 recoil mechanism to the K900". With very little info available about this procurement (in Finnish sources only 1 mention with it seems wrong name given???), it seems quite certain DM53-A1 is used, as Rheinmetall knows to mention it...)
-13 new scenarios by me and Koh (+the previous ones and the Ulf's pack of 10 scenarios)
-plus a lot of minor fixes and tweaks
