Scandinavian testers needed

[wulfir]

I decided to go ahead and change out the Soviets in 'Village of war.'

The Finns have garrisons in Sodankylä like the Jeager Brigade - but if these follow the Swedish pattern the 'Brigade' will be a training installation, not a field unit. A Swedish "regiment" does not mobilise in time of war, it is a sort of traning depot.

I would imagine the Jaeger Brigade at Sodankylä is also responsible for training and equipping various other units, like "Local Defence" formations made up of older conscripts etc - that would mobilise in time of war. IIRC they also have an artillery unit stationed near Sodankylä (although it is possible it ended up there after the end of the cold war). The Finns are great believers in artillery and made very good use of it during WWII.

Units of the Jeager Brigade used Swedish type Bv206 same as Swedish Norrlandsskytte (Arctic infantry) - good mobility off road, good mobility regardless of snow coverage (wide tracks and light weight makes it float on the snow). A serious tactical drawback however is the fact that it is not armoured, it is made of plastic.
