Occasionally someone asks about the Winter War and the Finns. If PCO is successful and we have a budget maybe there can be expansions with other countries. Spanish Civil War would be nice too.

Meanwhile you can mod the game with xmls for different country units. Mobius made infantry and gun (small arms)xmls for Italian and Romanian troops. They use the German soldier models and skins.

You can do the same for the Finns. In addition, you can take existing Soviet T-26s and rename the xml to Finn, country to German, and use the same model. If you have the graphics talent, you could make a new skin with Finnish markings and make a new model with the existing 3d model and your new graphics, then point the xml to that new model.

In the scenario editor you can change the unit name to whatever you want.

I took the CMBB Finn flag and icon graphics and converted them with Paint.net to work with PCO. Obviously these are copywrited materials and cannot be included in the game but I wanted to show the possibilities. I used JSGME to install them so that I can switch back to German when I finish the Finnish.

Bumping this to see if there is interest.

Having fins in the game would be good along with the other Axis countries....

I don't care about other countries, but I sure would like to have the Finns! [:)]

Finnish expansion would be great!

In my opinion this game engine can simulate very well battles in winter war and continuation war. I have not time and knowledge to make own modifications to the game, but I would appreciate official expansion. I have couple of games which have finnish scenarios but PCO could model fights better - I think.

Spanish civil war sounds good also because battles of that war are rarely simulated in any games.

I did a mod for Spanish Civil War that changes the flags and HUD icons but someone would have to make the scenarios.

I don't think that any should be left out. I would love to see some toldi's speeding around the maps. And is there any way that we could get some cavalry MOD'd into the game?
