Panzer_Freak Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Will there be any modules for the finnish front in CMRT? Like they added Market Garden i CMBN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 A long time ago, someone did put together a Finnish mod pack and a short campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy56 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I remember hearing CMBB was quite popular in Finland because, well, its army was in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) I believe such a module is highly unlikely. It was a relatively small part of the war - and not directly linked to rest of the war. I think we´ll only see the finnish war if someone makes his own mod set - as Warts 'n' all mentioned.

I belive it was Kohlenklau and a few others that had a finnish front project going...including mods. I don't recall how much stuff they managed to complete before Kohlenklau decided to take a break from CM or where to find it... what they did complete might be avaliable at CMMODS or the scenariodepot... if not...i don't know where to find it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubokii Boy Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Google... Kohlenklau finnish and you will find a link to a CM thread covering this project... i would provide the link but i don't know how to copy it while typing on my phone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerKommissar Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It's a shame that the northern theatre is rarely explored in media. Rarely do we see naval games about the Arctic and Baltic, and I've almost never seen the Lapland War in any sort of game. Even the Continuation War and Courland Pocket often get swept under the rug. I would love a module that built upon RT, to add Army Group North, Northern Front and III Corps. A big campaign for the III Corps, fighting against Soviets, and later, Germans. I'd prefer it to the Vistula-Oder/Berlin one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you have jogged my memory, that sounds right. There were three little battles for us to test. And I still have the mod pack. What I can't remember is whether the campaign was released on Engine 3 or 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Freak Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Well. I really hope it will be one, it will not only be popular in Finland but here in Sweden to. Alot of volunters went from Sweden to Finland, for natural reasons - our brothers to the east. Would be alot of interesting infantry units like the sissi and famous weapons like Suomi m/31. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubokii Boy Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 have you considdered buying CM1 ? like Frenchy56 mentioned CMBB do include a full compliment of finnish forces...and there are a decent amount of scenarios covering this part of the war avaliable... sure...its an older game...but still very playable ... And as a bonus...you will not only get the finns...but the whole eastern front is covered in that game. Including all the minors. lots and lots of content... you are able to buy that game very cheapaly now...well worth a try if you like the finnish front. I doubt we will ever see finnish troops in CM2 anytime soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Guy Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 That is one module I would like to see. I am thinking of writing my thesis on the Russo-Finnish War 1939-40 and it would make a great addition to CM. It has so many things in it that would make CM exciting (BTs, T-26s, ski troops, molotovs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 We are getting Indians and Brazilians in FI, so I have no doubts about seeing Finns in one (or more) of the titles. BF are East Front junkies. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I always try to be optimistic even when I am pessimistic. But it's just a logical deduction going by the past and stuff we have seen announced for newer titles. If they are gonna bother with something as obscure as Brazilians (or even dedicated Indian units) it makes sense that they wouldn't leave out something as popular (among East Front fans) as the Finns. Plus they've included them before. I wouldn't even be surprised to see the French added to BN (sometime down the road) after they are released for FI. But I am highly confident (like 95%) that the Finns will make a showing eventually. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlammenwerferX Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I like your optimism but they seem to be having trouble getting out the regular modules at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see primarely two opppertunities for the finns... - A minor nation pack for CMRT that would include the finns. - Some kind of early war module/pack that somehow would include the first russo-finnish struggle. I fear that we will have to wait quite a while for any of those though... As i understand it the current plan for the eastern front is to move backwards one year at a time with one or two basegames and a few modules for each year. It will be a LONG wait to see anything covering 1939, 40....Question is...is CM2 still a thing at that time ? (CM3 ??) I also kind of belive that BFC will prioritize a 1943 basegame as their next product for the eastern front rather then a minor nation pack for 44, 45. On top of that...to be able to include the finns some new animations and gameplay-features will also need to be included to allow for ski-troops. Finns without their skies...are no real finns Hopefully things will start to run somewhat more smothely for BFC from now on. They have been struggeling for the past few years and not much in the way of new products have been released. If not. The wait will be long...at best...or we might not see the fiins at all...

Warts 'n' all Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 In the mod pack there is a Stug bearing the number Ps 531 - 3. Although it didn't feature in any of the test battles, which was a shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 All Finnish Stugs have the 531 prefix, it was the 'code' for the type in Finnish service.....531-3 was a MIAG manufactured StuG-40 from the first batch of thirty purchased by the Finns, it was destroyed in Nurmilampi, Tali, June 28th 1944: http://www.andreaslarka.net/sturmi.html For all your Sturmi needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
