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.
Finnish Lieutenant from Häme Cavalry Regiment is wearing M/36 summer tunic and M/22 cavalry pants. Even though M/22 uniform series was withdrawn from the active service, there were some officers and NCO's who still used their uniforms even in the front. There are many pictures of cavalry officers wearing M/22 pants with M/36 series uniforms.
In the mod some (rare, mainly non-frontline) troops will have non standard issue equipment
M/22 is the oldest uniform series still in service in the Finnish Defence Forces, it is used by Dragoon band as dress uniform. Cavalry & Dragoon reservists also commonly use them in ceremonies and parades.
Outstanding work.
If you don't mind me asking, what condemned heroes model did you use for this?
Cheers,
I used the German machinegunner model. I removed the machinegun pouch from it.
Can you explain to me how you did that? I've been trying to use 3d ripper x to edit the standard CH models for my mod, but they always come out extremely distorted in 3ds Max.
I'm removing the pouches, making them transparent from the "ammo.dds" texture.
I'm using SKR's ported CH models as base (got permission to use models from his modification) as I don't have the game myself so there might be some changes in the model itself. I'll have a look if they work with other people's ports.
I'm personally clueless on modeling stuff, luckily I have managed to do quite many things with just texturing them
I had thought about doing that, but wasn't sure it would work. These things usually aren't that simple.
At any rate, thanks for letting me know. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to playing your mod.
Likewise :)
