This is a Scenario i made a few months ago which i never intended to upload but i decided to share it with you.
In this Scenario you will be playing as Finland during the Winter War of 1939/1940 this war is only between Finland and USSR but some German citizens actually felt sorry for the Finns so some volunteered. These Volunteers are represented in this scenario and can be found in the 'Force Pool' section, they do not cost prestige anymore!

Version 1.1 Out
* Fixes error where player can't select troops at the top of the screen because of the main menu.
* Made German Volunteers free because realistically volunteers were there to help, not to ask for a payment.
* Gave the Soviet AI more reserves to use to make it slightly harder and more realistic because historically the Soviets/Russians always had more troops than it's opponents.

It looks great-but the top 1 1/2 line of hexes is covered by the control panel and inaccessable!

Ok thanks, thats weird i might make those rows unplayable then so that neither you or the AI can access it to make it fair.

That would be great! I kept expecting A1 to figure out he had a weak spot in the far North. Great game and too bad the Finns did not have a couple armored units in the mix!

Yeah unfortunately there is no Finnish Tank unit, but i could add some more German tanks. When i make a scenario i always test it to see if it is possible to win. Also the AI is only as clever as the person who programmed it, and yes the AI is kind of dumb. I also i 3 more scenarios that are done but i don't know which one do release today... the three are for Leningrad, Rzhev Meat Grinder and the Soviet view of the Winter War.

It all sounds good! Can't wait to try WW updated version!

PS. I beat the Soviets on that first Winter War version-you have to split your armor between the two fronts at the outset, then scoot your Karelian Front armor North once it seems like the infantry can handle the situation on the isthmus. Great you fixed the upper strip problem. My World War Two Forum people are intensely interested in all this and I am curious to see what they have to say on this one (quite a few Finlanders there).

Hey! I tried the 1.1 version and this Russki commander is one formidable foe! Wrote it up to my friends on the forums and they are already all over it; http://www.ww2f.com/topic/51776-the-win ... ntry570243
