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 Unit Insignias (1944) [WIP]](https://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/24/23481/thumb_620x2000/Unitbadgechart1.png "Finnish Unit Insignias (1944) [WIP]")
The thing I've been working on lately is the UI component of the modification, I have finished the unit badges. The work on uniforms has been slow lately and I'm unable to show much things ingame. I want to post some of my progress which I have done lately, and I thought posting this would be the best solution.
Unit badges will be used as unit UI icons ingame in the MP component of the modification, Singleplayer units will use slightly different system.
There is way more units than this but these are the confirmed units/branches for the Finnish faction so far.
NOTE: Some of the insignia might resemble ones prohibited in some countries, but they don't have anything in common with the insignia and most of them are still used nowadays in Finnish Air Force and Army.
First row: Enlisted Cockade, Officer/Active Service Cockade (UI Icon will be used by the officers in MP), Cavalry, Häme Cavarly Regiment & Uusimaa Dragoon Regiment.
Second row: Infantry, Jaegers, Border/Frontier Guards, Civil Guard, Armored Division.
Third row: Finnish Air Force, Supply troops, Signals, Engineers & AA-Artillery.
Fourth row: Heavy Artillery, Artillery, Coastal Artillery & Infantry, Finnish Navy & Armored Troops
Loving them! and I'm glad you are adding the historic Finnish symbols!
Nice stuff.
I like the insignias, especially the colored ones :)
