Or into Wargame: Airland Battle.
| 00:01 - 00:05 | ...And based on this Exel spreadsheet I found from the forum only the best MBTs and cheap stuff is viable. Medium tanks are currently overprized as H*ll. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Currently virtually all Conquest games start with a Nato air assault towards key urban areas. |
| 00:08 - 00:11 | These attacks consists of Tigers and Stinger/Mistral AA heloes escorting SAS or pulse rifle-armed Fallschirmjäger '90s. |
| 00:12 - 00:17 | In this map Lima, Mike and Kilo are prone to be captured with this initial Nato land grab, unless someone plays Redfor and counters it with Chinese AA heloes. |
| 00:18 - 00:21 | No worries, the upcoming Scandinavia/Warsaw Pact DLC shall fix these issues and finally include Finland to the game. |
| 00:24 - 00:25 | Mein Führer... |
| 00:28 - 00:29 | This DLC... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | The DLC shall not feature new nations, only a bunch of new units for existing ones. |
| 00:33 - 00:36 | Just like in Airland Battle, Finland shall not be a playable nation in Red Dragon. |
| 00:52 - 00:59 | I'm about to launch into a tirade here, so please leave the room now. Resident forum Finns may stay and listen if they want to. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | JO SE NYT ON PERKELE!!!!! |
| 01:16 - 01:18 | A DLC ABOUT SCANDINAVIA AND PACT COUNTRIES WITHOUT FINLAND! |
| 01:19 - 01:24 | NEW UNITS FOR BLOODY DENMARK, WHILE FINLAND REMAINS EXCLUDED?! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | THE SAME DENMARK THAT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY VOTED AS THE WORST NATION OF AIRLAND BATTLE? |
| 01:28 - 01:31 | THE SAME DENMARK WHOSE ONLY USED UNIT VANISHED ENTIRELY FROM MIXED DECKS AFTER THE MILITIA NERF? |
| 01:32 - 01:34 | SURE, IT MADE PERFECT SENSE TO INCLUDE THOSE HAPPY BEERGUZZLERS TO AIRLAND BATTLE - BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF LEAVING FINLAND OUT! |
| 01:35 - 01:38 | "PURELY DEFENSIVE, GUERRILLA-STYLE ARMY." "NO DEDICATED SELF-PROPELLED ARTILLERY UNITS WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME." |
| 01:39 - 01:40 | AND THEN THEY GO AHEAD AND INCLUDED THE DERPY MILITIA HORDES OF DENMARK, A COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SPAAG SYSTEM?! |
| 01:41 - 01:43 | Mein Führer, you can actually make a decent autocannon deck with Denmark, I can show you a replay wher... |
| 01:44 - 01:46 | ANECDOTAL PUBSTOMP REPLAYS MY *SS! A FEW HINDS AND THE DANES ARE TOAST! |
| 01:47 - 01:48 | Mein Führer, Finland wouldn't have that many new units either! And they'd be strictly neutr...! |
| 01:49 - 01:53 | SO HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN SWEDEN THEN? WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AHISTORICAL WW3 SCENARIO HERE! |
| 01:53 - 01:55 | BAD EXCUSES, ALL OF THEM! |
| 01:56 - 02:03 | YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT AND EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND RESEARCH OF NORDIC MILITARY SITUATION IN 1980s! |
| 02:04 - 02:07 | AND ALL THEY COME UP WITH IS A SINGLE POP-UP MESSAGE IN THE GRAND CAMPAIGN, IN A WW3 GAME TAKING PLACE IN NORDIC COUNTRIES? |
| 02:08 - 02:12 | THEY PROMTLY DECIDED TO LEAVE OUT THE ONLY NORDIC COUNTRY THAT ACTUALLY FOUGHT IN THE PREVIOUS WORLD WAR WITHOUT BEING OVERRUN OR OCCUPIED. |
| 02:13 - 02:15 | AND IN A WW3 SCENARIO IN NORDIC COUNTRIES THE SOVIETS SOMEHOW BYPASS AND OCCUPY FINLAND WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT BECAUSE OF FINLANDIZATION? |
| 02:16 - 02:18 | IF POLITICS WERE SUCH A BIG DEAL THEY COULD HAVE MADE THEM A PACT COUNTRY, BUT NO. |
| 02:19 - 02:23 | THEY EXCLUDED THE ARMY THAT WAS ULTIMATELY LUCKY AND TENACIOUS ENOUGH TO SAVE THEIR MISERABLE HOMELAND FROM THE MACHINATIONS OF STALIN! |
| 02:26 - 02:30 | I never believed they'd really leave Finland out from Wargame for good. |
| 02:31 - 02:36 | Back in ALB I was over-optimistic enough to believe that perhaps they'd make a third DLC, and finally make Finland part of WW3 in northern Europe. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Perkele... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | SINCE YOU CAN'T MAKE A GAME ABOUT WW3 IN NORTHERN EUROPE WITHOUT FINLAND, NOW CAN YOU? |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | I'VE BEEN GULLIBLE AND DELUSIONAL ENOUGH TO BUY THEIR HYPE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | I doubt they'll ever seriously considered adding Finland to the game in the first place. |
| 02:56 - 03:00 | And even if they once did, their marketing department had already set their eyes on Asian RTS markets. |
| 03:01 - 03:03 | BECAUSE STARCRAFT IS THE BLOODY NATIONAL SPORT OF G*DDAMN SOUTH KOREA! |
| 03:05 - 03:08 | There there...Battlefront has already promised to include Finland to the new Combat Mission. |
| 03:14 - 03:18 | I have to admit that I have enjoyed those new missed unit-threads. |
| 03:19 - 03:22 | Yet even the Danes have a virtual in-game faction of their own. |
| 03:23 - 03:25 | Whereas for Finns, it remains a pipe dream. |
| 03:26 - 03:27 | It's over. |
| 03:31 - 03:35 | We shall never see Finland in official versions of Wargame. |
| 03:40 - 03:43 | But gentlemen, if you believe that this is the end of it you're seriously mistaken. |
| 03:44 - 03:50 | I'll keep playing this French boat game just for the the hell of it. And who knows, you may yet see Finland in Wargame after all. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | But for that to happen we'll have to hope for modding tools. |
