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.

You should give some of them Swedish helmet, 50% of Finnish army helmets were those.

Description

Finnish Infantry troops from Continuation & Lapland war era. After Winter War Finnish supply situation was better, partially due German aid & captured Soviet equipment from Winter War.

M/36 allowed rank-insignia collar tabs, but use was quite rare during Winter War, usually only officers and senior NCO's had them or they used Private collar tabs and used different means of identifying rank, most common way was to use secondary rank insignia in the shoulder boards.

First man on the left is Private First Class [Korpraali], Second is Staff Sergeant [Ylikersantti] & the last man on the right is Private [Sotamies]
