Honestly, most of them look no older... soldiers look pretty young... Still though, his uniform looks pretty "stock". Not much field time on it, but then again you normally break out your garrison uniforms for those pics. Sigh... Those were the days...

We have actually three uniforms, one for holidays, one for garrison and one for field time. The field uniform is terrible looking, and it's designed at year 62 (well, they look like most of them are made then too and used ever since

)

I took that picture a week before going to the reserve and I had returned already almost all of my stuff. Only had a holiday uniform and few necessary items.

David, the long hair was because I was going to home soon and the regular didn't care any more...

Is there some other type of camping in Finland?

The other type is camping in cold summer weather... I suppose

No, there are also chilling and rainy fall weather

Actually it's sometimes +30C at the summer but it's rare. Anyway, +30C isn't much better than -20C, since you can't take the uniform off and lounge under the tree. Ever tried to run wearing an uniform and a combat vest when it's a sunny and a hot day? I can say you'll be dripping with sweat.

Welcome back, Asmala! Even though I wasn't really around when you left... Or even when you were around for that matter. Still, it's nice knowing there's at least one more person out there I can bother with my silly and inane OT posts.

Ahhh, a warm welcome back to one of the masters of SE IV

. The first game I ever played against him was all the proof I needed to see that he would be among the best.

I guess it would be safe to say YOU aren't burned out on SE IV.

Or would it be better to say a year away from the game has cured you of all addiction?

So, what are your plans now? More schooling or a job?

More schooling. I continue my studies in the Tampere University of Technology. I had time to study only half a year before military service so I have about five years left there.

I just visited the home page of SEV and found the screenshots. Wow, it looked wonderful, can't wait till April. I assume the April is still the publication day, right?

I hope some SEIV games would help the time of waiting.

Latest news (IIRC) is mid- to late-2006. IIRC.

But I'd rather wait that long and have a nice polished game that does everything it is supposed to, than get it in April and have a game with so many bugs it isn't really playable until the 1.26 patch

Wouldn't you?

Asmala · #27 January 12th, 2006, 10:56 AM

Well, perhaps it's better this way. But I can't help myself thinking that I could have both a buggy game now and a nice polished game later...

Phew, I almost missed the thread.

Welcome back, young uncrowned upstart! KOTH is the second door to your left. Please leave your weaponry at the reception desk.

And these days, the Hill isn't so high--you need only two wins to compete for the crown!

Asmala · #30 January 12th, 2006, 05:44 PM

I almost forget to say this but thanks everybody for warm welcome!

Alneyan, I'll be away from the city this weekend. It's your decision whether you want to put me on the Hill now or Monday. Either way I'm eager to see if I'll be able to get to that long queue of contenders.
