Great idea Plasma! It would be really nice to play as Finn in CW mod too! And how about adding Sweden too

Well, Scandinavia as a whole is planned for the future releases, but I'm not making any promises because Sweden and Finland are going to be tough pieces of work.
That's why I thought it would be interesting to have a campaign or a couple of scenarios to make good use of these OOBs.

Cold War mod... nice

Maybe the Finns bought some T-80s etc. instead if the policy of roughly 1/3 western 1/3 finnish 1/3 russian remained? And due to not being able to buy ex-DDR equipment in early 1990's maybe materiel situation in especially armour is not that good?

Or Finns joined NATO and reneved all tanks to Abrams etc.

Glad to see you're interested!
We can discuss the details at length, but preferably not on this thread, I guess.
And don't you worry, I have plans for Finland...

Don't hesitate to PM if you have workable

ideas for this or other OOBs

Small update on the OOB since 6.1:

-MLRS now with the Finnish naming, 298 RSRAKH 06
-81mm Mortar 71 with new HE ammo (previously named 81mm Mort 71/90, now 81mm Mortar 71) dates fixed for single mortar and 3 mortar platoon -units (used to be from 1971 onwards, now 1990 onwards)
-Urban Jaegers with following changes: available from 2000 (previously 1995), Urban Scouts and Urban Pioneers as their own unit classes (Guards Scouts, Guards Engineers), weapon configurations and with pictures, Urban Jaeger weapon options now have also satchel charges
-New unit: Polaris 500 6x6 All-Terrain Buggy, used by Urban Jaegers from 2008 onwards (to transport 40mm AGLs) and also available in misc. screen, as other troops also use them, but more irregularily (signal units for laying optical fibre, recce units...)
-Musti Position (fort) now available also from 1962-1994 (bug)
-some revised texts and few new unit pictures

Anything coming to mind from you guys, bugs, stuff missing etc.?
