Im going to make a scenario of the Russo-Finnish Winter War. It is going to be from 30 November 1939 to 12 March 1940. There are going to be 4 Countries in it.

Finland
Soviet Union
Sweden
Norway

units!

[Dr. Nick]

Indeed! Units!

[Palaiologos]

The war lasted from November 30 1939 to March 12 1940. I would suggest 3 days per turn.

That would ammount to 34 turns.


Shows us some Finnish units!

Hmm perhaps the sovjets will try to persuade the Finns to give up their land with promising them chocolate
Ok seriously this was an interesting war where clearly overwhelmed Finns did their best and hold their ground and they inflicted heavy damage on the russians and we have the genius Gustaf Mannerheim to thank for.
But I'm not sure what's Norway's and Sweden’s part in it. To my knowledge they where neutral. Hmm will they be able to join the war in this scen? Perhaps a defensive alliance of the good Scandinavian countries against the big and evil russian invader

Go Finland Go

Oh I hope you will finish the scen sounds promising

[Palaiologos]

BTW which civ will be playable?

The Russians would be the most interesting as they are the attackers, but would have overwhelming superiority.

The Finns on the other hand will only press end turn far too often, as they only actions will be to simply hold out!

This war was before operation Barbarossa.

Soviet Union and Germany were still allies then.

Sweden provided weapons to the Finns, and I believe there were anti-Soviet volunteers from both nations.

I hope you have the sisu to finish this scenario!

[Dr. Nick]

Didn't Germany send 'volunteers'?

[jim panse]

as far as i know sweden paid a part of the bills and sent 8000 voluteers to finnland. norwy also sent - as denmark - about 500 voluteers as a sign of "scandinavian solidarity" (as we have seen, this solidarity was not more than a hole phrase at this time.

many germans wanted to fight with the finns against the communists but the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was too important to Hitler in that moment ("... everything i do I do against Russia. If the West is to dumb to understand this I´ll have to ally myself with Russia to crush the West before attacking Russia." I know that Hitler said this. You may excuse this translation, I only know this in German)

btw, what about the military "aid" from the Western Allies (UK, France)? They sent (I´m not kidding now!) some biplanes, vintage Machine Guns and some guns. If you need more details about this "aid" just tell me, I can give you exact numbers if you need them

[The ANZAC]

Yeah the British and French had prepared troops to send and they were just about to send them when an armistice was signed between the Russians and Finns. Later these troops were instead sent to Norway. I don't know how intent the Allies were on sending these troops though.

[Cyrion]

I'm looking forward to it, Figu!!

Am I wrong thinking it won't be on a too big map, which means it could make for quick games?? This is something I would like, as most of the new scens are "monsters"...

[FiGu]

Yes yes units are coming soon!! I will maybe later today show some.

Yes
and The Hungarians also sended some Full armed voluteers to Finland. And The Italians sended some. Im maybe going to make some events when the finns will get some extra units in the Major Cities.

Ok.

The Finns are going to be playable. After the sp version is done am I going to make a PBEM version of this.
