Winter Warfare is a modification set during a fictional version of World War 2 were a new Ice Age has begun. The Battle of Britian fails and Operation Sealion is a sucsess, the Soviets are defeated at Stalingrad and Kursk, D-Day fails, Italy never surrendered and Japan invaded Hawaii. This mod tells the story after the main Allied Powers have fallen such as the United States, Britian and the Soviets, instead it focuses on the remaining allies as they fight in brutal winter weather aganist a huge Axis force.
With a lack of raw materials and funding, the Icelandic government ordered the production of a new tank using what resources they could pull together, mainly from imported vehicles. The Reykjavik Steel Ordnance Company began producing the Reykjavik Stál-2 to support the small numbers of Reykjavik Stál-1s fighting the Axis in mainland Europe.
The Chinese Diesel Engine Plant in Beijing had sent the Icelandic military a WZ-111 tank for testing purposes but the hull's design was copied in the RS-2, having also obtained a number of American tanks (M4 Shermans, T-29s) prior to the war, parts from their were replicated as well. As a result, the Reykjavik Stál-2 was born.
A number saw action during Operation Firefeet and the Invasion of Nazi Occupied Holland, but none saw service in the Scandinavian front of the war. About 250 were produced in all before production stopped in 1947.
Despite being outdated by modern standards, the Reykjavik Stál-2 remained in service with the Icelandic Coast Guard until replaced by license produced copies of the British Centurion and Soviet T-72 sometime in 2006.

Nice! Like the blend of the WZ-111, T-29 and Sherman!
Yeah. I guess that there was no idea for how original would look so he just combined some tanks. But it doesn't look bad after all.
IS-3 Base?
IS-8 (T-10) base
SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST!
So this will be the Iceland heavy tank, I guess. The only problem i can fathom is how a hull from China made its way past German-occupied Russia or Japanese-occupied Alaska all the way to Iceland.
Before the ice age happened, in this universe I think that WW2 started in 1939 but the ice only came in 1943 or 1944
And it came by boat
now thats what i call blend moddeling
That thing is HOT! Lovely work, Ninja is really a good modeller!
Thanks :)
Look like Bt-5 ans M24 maked he baby. Really nice look.
It looks nice, tough the gun seems a bit to stubby and from a rather small caliber to be competitive to the expected standards of the time, maybe it's intentional but it looks wierd that a turret so massive can't fit a bigger gun...
