Description
NOTE: THIS MAP SEEMS TO BE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE MOMENT
I am not sure when it becomes available again if ever. The Northern Fronts team seem to have slight issues with this map in particular. Update will be coming when this mission is available again. Perhaps subscribe to the comments so you'll get a notification when it is.

General
An immersive 1-5 player scenario about the early days of the Continuation War from the Finnish perspective.

Features
- Amazing Finnish gear from the new Northern Fronts mod
- Custom voice lines (Finnish) from the movie Tuntematon Sotilas (2017)!
- Satisfying tank hunting
- Actual history :D

Briefing

History
June 22nd 1941 the Soviet Union launched attacks on Finnish naval targets. The same day Finland took part in laying mines on the Gulf of Finland. Soon thereafter German troops launched Operation Barbarossa, an offensive against the Soviet Union, directly going against the agreement of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact made in 1939. After their bombing runs, the German planes refueled in Finland. The Soviet Union responded with launching bombing runs and artillery on Finnish military bases. Finland tried to convince neutrality to the Soviet Union. June 24th the Soviet Union evacuated their embassy from Helsinki. The next day, June 25th, the Soviet Union bombed Helsinki, Turku, Porvoo and other cities. The same day the prime minister of Finland declared on a national radio broadcast that Finland was at war with the Soviet Union. June 16th war was formally declared, the Coninuation War had begun.

Situation
We're at war with the Soviet Union again. We all knew this day would come, but fear not: we know now how to handle a few ruskies. Since the outbreak of the war we've only gained ground, and that's what we'll do today too! We've got solid intel by scouts and recon planes that we're clear of Russian troops for a few kilometers, so we'll get closer with trucks and dismount closer to the Russians. Hopefully we're far enough for them not to hear our trucks.

Mission
Your mission is to assist the rest of the company to gain control over Ukonvaara. After that you are to move further south and secure a crossroads while the rest of the company prepares for Soviet counter attacks. The Soviets are throwing everything they got at us, so prepare an ambush at the crossroads and prevent any enemy armour from coming towards our troops from the south.

Execution
You will be deployed with trucks closer to the front and dismount at the marked location. That area should be clear of ruskies, but keep your eyes open regardless.

NOTES
NOTE #1: There are reports of AI squad members throwing satchel charges quite close to themselves/you, so there is a chance you will die by friendly fire. This has only occured in Multiplayer thus far, so be specially aware about this when playing MP

NOTE #2: I know Panzerfausts were in production in 1942 and were in use by the Germans in 1943 (Finland got their first ones in 1943 and really the most significant amount after the Ryti-Ribbentrop agreement in fall 1944, so the presence of Panzerfausts is purely for gameplay and not for authenticity or historical accuracy. If this rustles your jimmies it's entierly possible to not use them

@RymyEetu

I'm quite certain it never will be playable. The map has been unavailable for over two years now and it does seem like it won't be added back. Sorry for the inconvenience :/

do you know when it comes playable?
Hotshot Oct 11, 2020 @ 12:00pm 
that would actually be pretty awesome :-)

NF had indeed a major update, but the Omelia map where this mission is situated is still not in the mod pack and will most likely never be. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and start working on another Finnish WW2 mission then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Aku010

Ah, thanks for the heads up, I'll update you on the matter later today.

Is it still broken? Northern fronts had a major update
Hotshot Apr 20, 2020 @ 5:30am 
ah, ok, I thought the warning was because the whole Northern Front terrains mod was taken off steam (at least of ra while).
Damn, it always sucks if mods get "updated" (and items removed)...

Anyway: thx for the quick reply; have a good one!

Yes, I am am aware that this mission does not work. Apparently the Northern Fronts team had some internal issues and the person who made Omelia (the map this scenario is situated in) wanted the map to be removed from the mod. I've written a disclaimer above that this mission is not available for the moment. I've been working on a substituting mission (which is a slight pain in the ass, as the terrain of Omelia was somewhat unique in the NF pack) but for now this remains up in case the NF guys put the map back again. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I love your missions; idk why, but they are always fun to play!

The thing is: although Northern Fronts is available (again), I can't seem to start this scenario? When I press play, nothing happens, it won't even start loading.

Could you please do an update?
Thanks!!

@wuffman

Ah thanks man. I've been gone from the mission making scene for a time now, and I have actually been intrigued to start again. Sadly I'm quite busy with other stuff too atm, so I really don't know when I am available for more missions. I'll get to it as soon as I can :D
