Finn Mini Campain V2.0  for Panzer General Dos Version
changings to former version:
        -One new scene (historically better then the old one!)
         -Same new units
         -Several minor changes to improve play
 
 

        the Mini Campain includes 3 Scenes:

                        1: Motti-Tactics
                        2: The Mannerheim Line
                        3: Attack on Leningrad

                  History:

            While Hitler captured Polen Stalin thinks he can do the same with Finnland.
            The peace strenght of the finn army was only 30000 men and  the red army has much more power and so on the end of november 1939  Stalin orders to invade Finnland.But the bravy people af Finnland  showed now respect for the sowjet tanks abd used the great forrests to  kill many of  them with the great motti tacitcs.That was many attacks was only a few soldiers to cut the supply lines of the red army.
 

    Some of these battles are today a standart lesson on many  famaous military  academys.The people of finnland showed the world  how a little land can  not win the war but they were able to get  acapteble peace conditons.

     The loss of the finns where over 22000 men but the red army lost over 240000 men!

1:The first scenario is the motti tactic. Try to slow down the red army so the mannerheim line can build.

2: try to hold the mannerheim line and if you are able to launch a counterattack it could be a major change in history.

3:When you are able to get a major in scene 2 the finn army can now launch an attack to the vital city of Leningrad.The german army group north will help you! If you can gain a major victory here you has won  the campain!
