Upcoming : Finnish Front

[SetuSinger]

Will FF just be about Talvisota or will it also cover Jatkosota and Lapinsota?

[FiGu]

I'm currently making FF part one, that is, talvisota, later I shall include Jatkosota and Lapinsota and perhaps the Finnish Civilwar.

[FiGu]

I just begun placing out cities, and I thought i could post a Picture in the process...

Here's Karelia!

[SetuSinger]

Oikein hyvä!

[FiGu]

Kiitos! All the cities have been almost placed.... then technologies and units.

BTW, I've thought about using Stackables in this scenario... Should I use 'em?

[FiGu]

Hmm... Seems that the balance of power will be hard to create. When Russia invaded the Karelian Isthmus, they assaulted with about 1400 tanks, while the defenders had roughly 67 outdated anti-tank guns, and still managed to stop them.

Well, if it was the skill of the defenders, you could just give them a high att/def rating.

And give them high cost or make them appear only through event, to make the player use caution when using them

Thank you for your comments!

I've also begun thinking about creating two other techs:

Allied Intervention: You get a few transports off the norwegian coasts loaded with troops, but you lose your Swedish Support thus, all Swedish Volunteer Units are disbanded and you are at war with them.. (The Allied true intentions was to take the Swedish Iron Ore mines)

Deployment of Swedish Regular Troops: You begin to get Swedish Regular Troops (They will be good), and more volunteers.

I always thought that the Allies only wanted to stop Sweden from exporting the iron by capturing some key ports in Norway, not actually attack Sweden. (you realy learn something new every day)

The allies (well, Churchill mostly) planned to take Narvik, then use that to occupy the Swedish ore mines in the far north, and then go on to support Finland against the Soviet Union.

And will this scenario ever be done?

I think this scen is too hard to do. The Finnish troops during the war were damn good. The difference between Russians killed compared to the Finnish casualties is immense! How can someone create that in a game?

[FiGu]

It is doable (geez, was that even a word? ), and about the Allied thing.... I read from some offical finnish documents which said that the Allied troops had strict orders not to engage the Russian troops.

This scenario probably will be released around christmas... I really don't got any time for it at the moment.

YAY it would be a perfect christmas gift

I think it would actually be an interesting concept - a scenario where the human player's units were much better than the AI's units. Naturally the AI would have a much larger number of units, and a greater production capacity.

This would cause the human player to really husband his/her units carefully. Not many scenarios that I've played call for that approach (most seem to be about rushbuilding key units, as opposed to working with what you have).
