About this game

I am a 1 man developer. This game is a work in progress, please expect bugs and some incomplete content.

Play as Finland or Russia. Take command of units and lead them into battle to conquer the enemy strongholds.
Order your units to follow, stay, or charge the enemy lines.
Intense ww2 battles with hundreds of units to command and destroy!
Fight on historic battlefields or create your own maps and battles in sandbox mode.

November 1939.
After Finland refused to cede territory to the Soviet Union, the Red Army launches a massive invasion.
Heavily outnumbered and poorly equipped, the Finns rush to improve the Mannerheim line and prepare to face the enemy…

Use a wide selection of vehicles, tanks, and airplanes at your disposal:
T26 & T28 tanks, Flame tanks, armoured cars, aerosani snow-mobiles, trucks, sleds pulled by reindeer. Ski across the vast forests and lakes of Finland to outflank the enemy.
Fly Fokker XXI and defend the skies against Soviet air raids, or use rockets and bombs for daring ground attacks.

Join the Soviet Air force and pilot I-15 and I-16 fighters to gain air superiority, or fly Tupolev SB2 bombers to pound the Finnish defenses.
Set strategic objectives or fire artillery and mortars, or provide targets for the artillery and air force.

Gain resources to build a wide range of defenses, weapons, and vehicles.

Play on massive battlefields covering over 100 square kilometers, representing real historic battlefields of the Winter War.
Fight in the trenches and bunkers of the heavily fortified Mannerheim Line of the Karelian Isthmus.

Use guerrilla-tactics and Molotov cocktails to ambush, divide and destroy the stretched out Soviet forces on Raate Road in the deep cold forests near Suomussalmi in the north.

Lead the Red Army to victory on the battlefields of the frozen lakes of Tolvajarvi.
Use tactics and mobility of Finnish ski troops and take advantage of the terrain to resist the vastly superior manpower and weaponry of the Soviets.

Ratings and reviews

I got into an AT gun, the one with treads, died, respawned at the game with my controls glitched as if I were still in the gun, mounted a horse that was nearby which my camera was able to get to, got off, didn't fix it, left the game and opened it back up but was welcomed by a black screen. Tried to play multiple times, never able to get to the menu.

To improve the flying experience you can team up with illusion magic studio (the makers of wings of steel). In return teach them how to do the foot soldier stuff. On another note, please make the artillery less accurate. And make the controls like the pubg controls. Controls are a big part of making a game fun, because it's hard to move around, shoot, and lead an army, without good controls. Contrast of the ground and sky would be nice.More sniper rifles SCOPES you can zoom in and out.3rd person

From what I've seen the game is extremely fun I've been hooked for hours honestly. I do think that the controls can be designed better it is a pain to control sometimes and constantly die becuase of them but what could I expect for mobile? There is a very annoying bug that occurred and that is when I get shot it says by Simo. But for EVERY single person in the game. Anyway from one dev to another keep it up I think you're doing great even with the complaints I had. Also is there a PC version?
