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.

Description

T-34/85 was an upgraded version of the famous Soviet T-34 medium tank. The tank was upgraded with 85mm main gun and new turret. The tank was produced from early 1944 and by the Soviet offensive in the same year's summer it was one of the most common tank-types along with earlier models of the T-34.

During the tank-battle near Portinhoikka (25th June - 26th June) four T-34/85's were captured and taken to Finnish use shortly afterwards. Three more tanks were captured in battles near Vakkila (Located near Ihantala - site of the biggest battle in 1944). In addition to these, two other T-34/85's were captured but never taken to Finnish army use. The tanks saw limited use and were equipped by 3rd Tank Company in the Lapland war.

The tank in the picture has Finnish three-tone pattern and has larger version of the Finnish army marking due the risk of friendly fire.
