Currently it is in Beta, meaning we need to playtest balance, but apart from that it is almost ready to be published. A Public Beta (v.0.46) is now available:

Of course none of this could have happened without the help of Victor Reijkerz who has played a key role in the background.
Some Basic Info:
Background: (taken directly from the Scenario description).
"In 1939 on the 30th of November, three months after the invasion of Poland, began the conflict that was going to be known as the Winter War. The two sides were Finland and the Soviet Union. The attack by the Soviet Union began with a fake shelling of an own village, and the blame for it was put on the Finns. War began and the Soviet military machine set in motion.
However it was not going to be an easy task for the Soviets. The Finns had great morale and knew the countryside very well. They also had a series of forts, known as the Mannerheim line, which they defended their country from. The Soviets had a great advantage in numbers. They had three times as many soldiers as the Finns, and 30 times as many aircraft. However many officers had been purged and morale and efficiency of the Soviet forces was thus diminished.
In the real world, the conflict lasted until the 13th of March 1940, with the signing of a peace treaty in Moscow. Before then the Soviet Union had been expelled from the League of Nations, December 14th 1939, and the attack was deemed illegal. Finland ceded 11% of its prewar terriroty, and 30% of its economic assets to the Soviet Union. The war had other consequences; chief among them probably Hitlers impression that the Soviet Army was no threat at all, and thus to launch Operation Barbarossa.
This game simulates that conflict, and challenges the Soviet player or Finnish player to do better in the time the war happened. The game automatically ends on the 13th of March 1940, and turns are 2 days each. During the game reinforcements and replacements will be available for purchase, and historically arrivals will happen."
And of course a Teaser picture... The view the Soviet player gets when he starts!
