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.
Sorry for another "boring" uniform update once again. I must also say that the lack of updates was because of me being sick and being busy with real life affairs so the progress has been slightly slower than usual.
The last week I have been returning to texturing and I finally fin(n)ished some of the Finnish tank textures and I will be displaying them here later on. I also started working on Taipale map inspired by the Winter War (1989) movie and it was also a small source of inspiration for some of my skins.
I have displayed the Finnish winter skins for quite some time, however I wasn't quite satisfied with them yet and they were bit too bright in-game and I thought that I should add some more dirt on them and some small details like scarfs and such.
Yesterday I renewed the winter-oversuit texture and added multiple different layers to simulate dirt and other wear to the uniform. I am also planning to include winter uniforms which have gotten even more use than the ones displayed here. In addition, I have added some gloves and I'll be adding them to more units in the future.
I will also include more "model Cajander" variants and different uniform styles, for example Cavalry and other light-troop officers will have their nice pre-war fur overcoats. My plan is to represent the poor supply situation and varying equipment in the Winter War as well as possible.
