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.
Recently I have been remaking the Finnish Infantry skins. Now the uniform colour should be correct and the buttons and other small things have been changed for more realistic look.
In the pic you can see Captain of the Jäger Brigade, which was elite formation under Armored Divisions command. Brigade saw heavy fighting during the decisive battles during Summer 1944, being an important factor in the Finnish defensive victory.
hyvä
hienoa työtä!
Very nice uniform, rank insignia indicates Captain, right?
Thanks,
Yes it has Captain's insignia. The colors of the collar tells the branch he is part of and the rank. (Green and Yellow like in this pic means that he is part of Jäger-troops)
The rank-insignia was usually placed on top of the collar patch. NCO's have chevrons, Officers have small or big roses and the generals have lions.
I've seen pics of men wearing no collar insignia too and I'll include those as well, might have been to prevent being seen so easily as some collar insignias were very colorful and they could be seen from far away.
Captain Kaarna? :p
Must say, I recently got the dutch version of Tuntematon sotilas, I love it. (the book)
Anyway, Looking good.
