Aragorn2002 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) On Steam there's a relatively new game by Avalon games, called Winter War. On one of the introduction movies a song can be heard by a Russian (or Finnish?) choir. It sounds very martial and I like it, but can anyone tell me the title? It would sound great in Red Thunder too. Edited February 12, 2021 by Aragorn2002 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could very well be a Finnish song too, the sound is not very clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landser Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 OK well I cheated a bit. I downloaded the manual for Winter War, and that's the only song listed in the credits... Good luck mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landser Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Anytime mate, hope you identify it. Aren't the songs somewhere in the game directory? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't bought it yet, but probably will since there's a discount on Steam till the 15th of February. I will probably buy it, since games on the winter war are very scarce. The more I listen, the more I think it's Finnish, not Russian. Hopefully BF will chose the Finnish-Soviet war for CM one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 A thought... don't they have apps for ones phone that will ID any song just by playing a few bars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Erwin, yes, my wife told me to use Shazam, but it didn't recognize the song. Good thinking though, thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right all along, landser. The song is indeed called 'Soviet Empire'. My apologies and thanks again! After your tip I did search for that title, but found nothing by Sergei Stern. Apart from that Finnish and Russian military choirs sound alike in a lot of respects and the text in the song is difficult to analyse. The languages in itself are very different of course (Finno Ugrian and Slavic). My wife speaks Russian and even she didn't recognize it, although she thought she heard the Russian word for 'war'. Anyway, I found the song in the directory of the game and again, you were right, landser, well done! Apart from finding the song (after buying the game which looks interesting) the good thing is that I found scores of great Finnish and Soviet military songs. Especially a Finnish album called 'Suomelle-Isänmaallisia lauluja' contains great martial songs. If BF ever decides to crowd fund for a Finnish CM, I would gladly pay several hundred Euros to get that materialized. But I'm a dreamer, I know.

landser Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm happy you found it, and also happy to help. Looking through the manual as I did, Winter War looks interesting. So it was a valuable exercise for me as well. Good hunting commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
