Tank skins, part 1 - Slogans and other details image - Finnish Front 1939-1945 mod for Men of War: Assault Squad 2
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.
I've begun the work on adding variety on the vehicle skins. This includes making some unit specific and generic variations of all faction's vehicles. First ones I've been working are for the Soviet faction. There will be numerous camouflage variants and tanks with different insignia. For example, tanks used by Guards Separate Regiments have guards insignia painted on them.
The first tank on the left belongs to 1st Red Banner Tank Brigade which fought against Finnish troops in Kuuterselkä and Vyborg in 1944. The other two tanks have generic and quite common slogans seen on some wartime pictures of Soviet tanks. I will work on adding more individual and less generic ones as well.
Cool
