Thanks to Lord Rommel for the clarification.  :)

I waited for your comment, because you know very much about the history of WW2 and thus can tell us if something is worth to be propably part of EF.

@ Werwolf: I'm sorry, but I decided to rather work on my 'light Ostheer concept' instead of this one here, because I like the new one much better.

You mentioned you needed another infantry unit type, I've made a topic about something that would fit this role perfectly, Gebirgsjager infantry, it can be found here!: newbielink:http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=2401.0 [nonactive]

I already posted this as a reponse in the other official post, please don't find me repetitive hehe, I'm just trying to contribute and I think Gebirgsjager would be a perfect fit in the Ostheer. 

The Fins did actually fight with Germany and one of the main German leaders was Finish newbielink:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim [nonactive] he sent many troops during the invasion of Russia and the Fins hated the Russian for attacking them during the winter of 1939 I think it was. Also known as the winter war newbielink:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War. [nonactive] There is enough information to justify the use of Finish troops during the war.

Not at all, I just thought they deserved more of a role.. And I'm not saying their own faction.. And has no one thought they weren't actually Axis? They fought against both Axis and Allied they just wanted to defend their turf..

I guess your right.. But will the Finns speak Finnish? I dont think the game was released in Suomi..

I know you said you gave them a command tree, could you PM me describing it a little more please? I dont understand the short description of a couple of units in the OP..

I was merely thinking a few Finnish maps could be included - namely Rovaniemi based on the Winter War, and Lapland..

And perhaps a Finnish faction with Russian tanks? It was how it worked when they fought the Germans out, they had the help of Russia..

And Perhaps a role in the Russian campaign..

It seems like a whole load of effort to create the finns as a faction, then to just consider them a "Borderline" faction. It really doesn't make sense.

The winter war was before the second world war, the war itself is completely irrelevant to the eastern front.

I'm sorry but the facts and the logistics behind creating finland as a completely new faction that can be allied to either side seems slightly unbalanced and a bit washed out. Sure it is historically accurate, but clearly the developers are trying to cator for everything in a single faction. It doesn't really make any logical sense to have the finn's as a seperate faction.
