This modification will add Finnish faction to Men of War Assault Squad 1 & 2 along with multiple campaigns for the Finnish side. The campaigns will be based on Winter war's last battles, Continuation war's "attack phase", advance along Kirov-railway in 1941 and 1942, defensive battles of 1944 and Lapland war. Each faction will be unique and player has to adapt his play-style to use advantages and disadvantages to defeat their enemies. German faction has most elite infantry formations, but they lack heavier tanks and heavy artillery. Russians are well armed, have heavy-armor support, have more infantry, but their infantry aren't as well trained and experienced as Finnish and German counterparts. Finnish faction will be "in-between" the Germans and USSR, having enough equipment for attacks & defending areas. Shortcomings of the Finnish faction is lack of mobility and the tank costs.
Infantrymen of Finnish "Ace Regiment" at Summa, regiment known for painting skulls to their helmets. Skulls painted on helmets were later used in Continuation War by Cavarly Brigade & some Light Detachments.
Village of Summa and area of Kuolemanjärvi [Lake of death] were important positions, and those areas saw heavy fighting during last months of Winter War in early 1940.
The picture of a skeleton?
cool!xp
Some Finnish troop group often did paint skulls on their helmets and in modern times some mistook this as a gesture akin to the Waffen-SS insignias.
That means they are part of light troops, not all of them painted white marks tough.
