## Game

### **Scenario:**

Finland is an A.I. nation during the Second World War: European Theater (Axis). Finland is seen fighting the Soviet Union during *Operation Barbarossa* and during the *Siege of Leningrad.*

### **Conquest:**

With a tiny bit of help from the Germans, Finland becomes arguably one of the easiest (and most rewarding) countries to control (especially for the 1939 conquest). During the 1939 conquest, you should immediately capture Leningrad and Riga, after which you can help in the invasions against Denmark, Norway and Poland. Do note however that the defeat of the Soviet Union is Finland's first priority.

Or

In 1939,(1st turn) you can send Mannerheim to Norway and spawn a tier one howitzer(also send to Norway). With your other howitzer attack leningrad but avoid anything harming that howitzer.(end turn) Now you must not waste any more money because copenhagen will be open for parachuting. After that go for amsterdam. It is crucial for you to get paris or lyon so you can spawn heavies. After taking norway(100% secured you'll get it in 2-4 turns) spawn another(1) howitzer and use those two to attack sweden. The norweigan port will be open so you can get it. If you have a infantry general, even with Tito(wearing the great soldier medal) is OP on the specialist commandos with its perks against infantry and tanks. Keep an eye out for open cities and try to reduce your spending. If Esienhower decides to try and land on normandy try to block him even with light infantry so your German bros kill him. After that just spam medium tanks to attack moscow. Breeze thrrough the soviet union to meet up with Japan. If you want to take an English cities by air and if you have paris, attack the nameless city to the left of london, after landing that city spam mediums. I am pretty sure you know what to do next. cpthecoolguy

In the 1943 conquest, Finland has the best position to capture Leningrad, Kiev and Moscow, just remember to help in the British Isles after the capitulation of the Soviet Union.

Firstly, try to produce medium tanks and assign a tank general (suggesting Vatutin) to it, as the Germans starts to be suck in terms of capturing Moscow,. After got the tank, try combine your howtizer with Mannerheim’s commando and your tank, along with Germans forces to capture Leningrad as quickly as possible, and then help the Germans at Moscow. At this moment, soviet generals defending moscows had been weaken. After losing both Leningrad and Moscow, the soviet are really weak now, you should sent forces attack to the east to capture cities and increases your economy. If possible, build forces to attack India, help Siam and Japan or even attack Alaska, invade the U.S. In the west, you should keep some of your forces, try getting a port and produce as much submarines as possible to help the Germans against D-Day if British-Americans decided to land. Your economy now is very strong so i suggest spamming submarines and medium tanks, concentrate your forces for the invasion of the us and Canada along with defending the west coast of Europe along with Germany, if strong enough, beside submarines, you should also produce cruisers. After defeating India, you should build a naval force with subs and cruiser, preparing an attack into Australia. In the Far East, after defeating the Soviet Union by capturing two of their last ports, spam submarines here to stop the wave of Canadian-American-Mexican landing forces heading to japan. After completing, victory is yours. After unlocking missile silo, spam MRB missiles into weak cities and then parachute! **The priority in playing Finland 1943, is to capture as much of lands as possible while still balancing your spendings** for units, try capture the small cities of Soviet Union using Mannerheim’s commando (cuz he is the strongest infantry general in Europe plus assigned to commando) and your max-sized medium size tank assigned to a tank general (like Vatutin, Manstein, etc…). As taking as much of territories, your economy will rise and you will have money for stronger units. The soviets will build a lot of institutes in their small cities so if your capture them, you can speed up the progress of technological development, unlocking new facilities like airports and missile silos

### **Territories:**

Finland neither loses nor gains territory throughout the different conquests, aside from the 1980 conquest as it is occupied then.
