You guys amaze me, especially those who belong to the Finnish lobby. Why is there not a Norwegian lobby or a Belgian lobby or a Greek lobby? I'm NOT poking fun at you guys, but are there really that many Finns who are getting into this game? If so, I think it's wonderful, BUT, wouldn't it follow that you would encourage development of Arctic scenarios involving the Finns and their German allies?

Yeah, I'd like some scenarios too but I know they're pretty demanding to get done. Especially with the research to get them as historical as is fit.

Does someone know good places in the web where I could get some maps of Finnish battle sites?

And as a little side note... there is a Close Combat III conversion to Winter War and onwards .

... so all in good time .

If you want to use real Finnish names then you can find the names of WW2 KIA soldiers at page http://tietokannat.mil.fi/menehtyneet/index_en.php3

And yes, that site is maintained by Finnish Army

And a good starting point to Finnish military in WW2 is site http://www.hkkk.fi/~yrjola/war/finland_wwii.html/

(No, that is not my site, and nobody I know personally).

Hey, that was a nice site. I found 13 relatives that I didn't know from there. Obviously, my grandfather wasn't among those because he still lives.

So Nirvi is out of question, because I couldn't find a match with his family name? Perhaps none of his family actually died, dah. Of course, that's better for the results .

Huh, it was a bit frightening to find out that there were 157 soldiers with the same last name as I (Pesonen), of whose two had the same place of birth (Tuupovaara). Both of them were killed younger than I am now. This is really "the reality of it all".

Salute to those guys!

There is actually a Close Combat 4: Viipuri coming too. It has new campaign too, and it's made by the same guys as CC3:Talvisota (they are both from Denmark, can you imagine?!?). It will also have great new sounds (can they be bad when I do them )!

So Finns are a majority in wargaming if you look at the size of the country...?

Shame that I don't have CC4... CC3 rocks too much (note: the original setting might be worse than CC2 but the mods, the mods...)

So, Ilja, why do we have so few Finnish scenarios? I think we shall have to remedy that .

I don't know why we have so few Finn scenarios in WAW... I only made sound files. Propably it's because most of the scenariomakers are non-Finns

But in SPMW I will make sure that Finns have maaaany scenarios and campaigns (Russia attacks, Sweden attacks, we attack Sweden - this one is a must , UN missions all over the world... lots of stuff)

Version v4.3b has the new names in it so this EXE is no longer needed.
