Winter War 1939

I just failed at 'Swedish Voluntary Corps' for the 2nd time, the Russians captured the VP flag (below) with 2 turns left.
I'll try again later.

Thank you Paul for your details.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask you for permission to borrow your superb Italian unit skins for future scenarios.
And if you want to launch a campaign of your choice where everyone can create and bring you a scenario to create a great campaign to please the community, I would be happy to participate.
Battle Academy III?

@PoorOldSpike
Tips for TenTonTank, the Ai tries to wrap a victory point before conquering it and the units on the roads are fragile, especially when the artillery has weakened them before.

I made some of the Italian Infantry skins (Blackshirts, Bersaglieri etc) and some other units textures, like the 75mm Gun. But most of the skins are straight from Battle Academy 1, apart from some nice green & sand camo vehicle skins that I took from Maximilian von Schweinewitz's Combat Missions Campaign. I don't know if Maximilian von Schweinewitz created those himself, or if he found them somewhere else. I have no problem with you using the skins from the mod.

I think my time modding BA2 is limited, I will soon have to return to Field of Glory 2, so I won't be able to do much more, although there are a number of Skirmish Mods that I am working on which will hopefully be released soon.

Before you use your time machine, can you post a modding guide?

Aargh I just lost 'Swedish Voluntary Corps' for the 3rd time!
Has anybody ever won it?
The Russian Commissars (below) are very powerful, they never miss, and they're hard to kill, are they like snipers?
What weapon do they carry?

This scenario is the hardiest of campaign(two tries for me!).
You are surrounded, the enemy is gradually coming from all sides.
Practice flexible defense, your units must support each other. An isolated unit is a dead unit!
Engage the enemy from a far while remaining grouped and covered, then retreat to force them to uncover, then make small local counterattacks to destroy the demoralized units. Your centerpieces are LMG.

Commissar are not snipers, They represent officer team or NKVD team.

Yes, in Swed Vol Cps there are too many Russians..
I've just lost again at my 4th attempt.
Me- Played 4, Won 0, Lost 4.
You- Played 2, Won 1, Lost 1

Therefore 1 Won, 5 Lost = scenario unbalanced..

Yes, the purple text you've added to that Summary is correct..
I've got 37 years of computer wargaming experience and am glad to give feedback to scenario designers to help them improve their work.
If you've finished working on the Campaign now, you don't need me any more..

I don't know if Maximilian von Schweinewitz created those himself, or if he found them somewhere else. I have no problem with you using the skins from the mod.

All Italian skins I used for Combat Missions are modded/recoloured vanilla ones. Of course, everyone is allowed and invited to use my stuff to create new content for this game.

BTW: Fine work, Rico! And thanks for the skirmish mods, Paul!
