I also like the idea of a Winter War campaign or a Continuation War campaign (summer/fall attack -41 and also the defence battles on summer -44).

But there is only one problem, many american wants only to play USA-campaigns, little Finland and Soviet Union aren´t so interesting (at least I have that image of them) and Mega Campaigns are planned to sell over 3500 copies and I´m not sure would a Finland-campaign sell so much (have you noticed that there is only 3000 registered members in this forum..?).

I wouldn't want to speak for all Americans, but my 3 campaigns to date have been Japanese, German and British, with a short interlude in the Arras campaign as well. The US army and marines are about the last two that I would want to take through a campaign.

As for Finland, one part of my family came from the west coast of Finland in the late 1800's (and still refers to themselves as Swedish-Finns), I played SPI's Winter War to the point of wearing it out. I have great respect for the Finnish army and would enjoy playing scenarios with them in it.
thanks, John.

I stumbled upon this thread as I was searching for some campaigns. I deleted SPWAW about ten months ago, since I was low on harddrive space, but I'm finally downloading it again.

Now I was wondering if anyone ever made a Finnish campaign? I'm from Finland myself and would definately enjoy playing one. I've found several scenarios, but never a full campaign.

I remember actually starting on creating my own campaign based on Erkki Lehväslaiho's book "Panssarisotaa!" (Armourwar! when translated to English) but only finished a couple of missions.

So...did anyone manage to complete a Finnish campaign?

Finnish campaign sounds like great idea indeed, makes me hope i would be better scenario maker but im sure we have a lot talents here that can make it happen cant wait to get kick some russki soldats arse

Well you aren't the only american that I know who thinks that way. I just supposed that there is not many of you in the USA. I hope that I'm wrong.

Update: I've begun work on a campaign in which a Finnish company fights it's way through the hot spots of the Winter war. Not historically accurate, but it should prove to be fun.

Check back later for more info.

I wish you good work

I's great to see so much Finns in here. I also have tried to make a winterwar campaign from the battles in Suomussalmi-region but I only managed to finish two scenarios for it.

By the way. I really recommend all finns to come to IRCnet's channel #spwaw to discuss about making a Finland-campaign.
