SomethingClever Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 When I play CMBB, I loveto play as the Finns. Its just something about playing the underdog who somehow manages to put up a great fight. However, i really dont seethat mnay post on this forum regarding the Winter War. Is anyone besides me a Finn Fanatic? Also, ive been looking for some good Finnish scenarios (I was dissapointed by the ones supplied in the game). Doe anyone know where I can find some? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Björn Eriksson Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 For scenarios, look here: Scenario Depot I hate the sauna-bathing scum called finns. They are better than us at ice-hockey and therefore they must die :mad: :mad: :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team has played very poorly in this tournament, but I'm sure we always beat one Sweden :cool: This win will be our last in the tournament, unfortunately. I won't see that game, because I'll go to watch the games in Turku (CAN-GER & CZE-RUS) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doe anyone know where I can find some? Start with this scenario then move on. I found most of the battles by this designer very well made, though I have not played them all. But I believe all of them are on the Winter War, which is not really covered by CMBB, but they play just fine. http://ns9.super-hosts.com/~dragonlair.net/combatmission//CMBBscenarioreview03.php?UniqueID=127&Name=Making+Motti 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avedon Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 This could be a correct place to thank those, who made the finnish sounds for the game. They are exellent work!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I have a new historical scenario coming out that I had the help of a few of the Finns here. Again, thanks for your help! Scott B. should be releasing it on Boots and Tracks soon. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruceov Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 In a QB what settings do you need to get the finns. I choose unrestricted but practically never can I select the fins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 But I must say, if there ever was a situation where I needed a team that is capable of getting into a 5-1 lead situation AND THEN LOSING, I'm sure I'd contact the Finnish hockey team. Accept no substitute. :mad: :mad: :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 It was the sweetest news ever when I heard that Finland had lost the match, since I knew that'd shut up the annoying, drunken, minimum wage losers upstairs.

Jarmo Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 To the first post. The reason why Winter War is so rarely mentioned, is probably because CMBB doesnt cover that war. I do try to love as many finns as possible, but some of us are way unlovable. The rest are merely unapproachable and hostile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Chapuis Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I have been thinking about getting CMBB for a while, but had pretty much decided not to since I dont really care that much about the eastern front, and since CMAK will be coming out soon. But I have been reading A Frozen Hell , and now I am really wanting to see if I have enough sisu to whoop a swarming hoard of Ruskies. Are the Winter War scenario's worth buying the game for? Are there ski troops in CMBB? What about Finnish Puukkos? Oh, and in answer to the topic question: yes, I love the Finns.

Jagdwyrm Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Bruceov- You will have to select either Finland or All combined in the region selection screen to make sure you can select Finns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there ski troops in CMBB? What about Finnish Puukkos?Well, actually the Finnish Winter War is not exactly in the game because the game starts from 1941. However, early war Finnish stuff and Russian stuff are so similar to what they were in 1939-40, that it enables reproducing those events through scenarios. With the exception that there's no T-28 medium tanks, unfortunately, but still. There is even one Winter War scenario on the cd, and more at The Scenario Depot. And yes, in those you get to whoop a horde... or worse, get whooped BY a horde. There are ski troops in CMBB. The feature is not perfect, but it does what it is meant to do, ie. allow speedy movement across deep snow. No Finnish knives, not that you would get close enough to use them, usually. If you want a tactical level wargame that lets you play Finns, this is your best bet. Unfortunately it is pretty much the only one at the moment. Anyway, it's really got so many things to offer, things like T-34's, that if you liked CMBO, you'll probably start digging more information about the Ost Front as well. Besides, it IS the western front. For Russians! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 have a look at their infantry bn's. they have a great AT capability,3 man panzerschreckteaams with 9 rounds! At hunterteams and guns with a lot of infantry I tried one of those bn's in a QB and the result was very satisfying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At hunterteams and guns with a lot of infantry I saw just a while a go a TV documentary about Continuation War. This one veteran said, that they got wooden boxes from Germany and they included Panzerfausts and Panzerschreks. They had only instructions in German and this vet understood the text and explained it to the fellow soldiers. There was this one guy who listened with great interest and then he took about 5 fausts with him and went off. Few hours later he came back and he managed to destroy 4 Russian tanks, which was later confirmed. Pretty cool result from a green faust-user. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
