DavidFields Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Where are the Finns? I don't mean to upset Battlefront, and I know they have a lot to do. But I think we might be able to keep a thread alive until.....maybe several years from now...the module finally arrives where those Giants from Finland ride their Reindeer into that Winter War against KV-1s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akd Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I love that finnish movie with the stug's in it. The one where the Finns throw StuGs at Soviet tanks to knock them out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankh Morpork Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The one where the Finns throw StuGs at Soviet tanks to knock them out? Which one is that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetchez la Vache Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 They didn't throw StuGs. That's silly and a waste of a good tractor. They just threw wooden logs hard enough to penetrate the KV-1's frontal armour at ranges up to 1000m. That's why you see so many pictures of Finnish StuGs with logs lashed to their sides - they're carrying ammo... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tagge Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Where are the Finns? Here I am! As for the other Finns I think they still celebrate the fact that we now are icehochey world champions 2011 when we kicked the crap out of sweden in the final match! I hope finns appear in the sequel CM Barbarossa/Bagration after the three modules for Normandy get done. How about it BF? Any plans for that to happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 gentlemen, You forget the all-time classic movie where the Finns, speaking their yub yub langiage, manages to take out a superior armoured force, with their log defense. I believe it was call "Return of the Jedi" Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakhal Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Battlefront could just model one finnish soldier and but him alone against the enemy in all scenarios. http://www.badassoftheweek.com/hayha.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Finns are undefeatable because of their natural athletism and cat-like reflexes that allow them to take cover immediately when threatened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakhal Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Finns are undefeatable because of their natural athletism and cat-like reflexes that allow them to take cover immediately when threatened. Amazing reflexes. The fall looks perfectly natural. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidFields Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 We could do this in CMBN: A scenario where some Finns who moved to the Mid-West of the US meet a captured KV-2 tank in Normandy......and.....and....I guess it was not snowing in June....and...um....I guess their country is on the other side....um...beat the tank with reindeer horns until the poor morale troops bail. Sound like a good scenario? And....why doesn't Battlefront model reindeer horn beating of armor correctly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well.... what about the next module: "It does snow in september"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well when the Bagration game comes out, if they do a Finn module it would cover the Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive. Perhaps someone could expound about this and suggest what we might see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Perhaps someone could expound about this and suggest what we might see. Lots of forests raped by Katyushas. Lots of T-34's raped by Finns with pinecones. Thread from 2004 about the subject 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
