The smaller scenarios are treated as learning scenarios, meant to prepare you for the big one. In Winter War you take control of either Finland, or the Soviet Union, in either one huge scenario that lets you play through the entire war, or a few smaller scenarios, that only deal with small portions of it. While not great looking, the graphics are perfectly serviceable Gameplay In other words, they do exactly what you want them to do in a game like this. Sound effects are also not half bad, and give good feedback to your actions. The game’s soundtrack seems to be made out of stock music, but it’s fitting for the setting and does its job well. The graphics won’t wow anyone, but it’s not bad, and the art that’s used for the map and counters is good. Small numbers represent things like firepower and movement. Units are made up of square counters, that look a lot like the cardboard counters you find in tabletop wargames. You’ve got a map of Finland, and the area of Russia bordering Finland, split up in different named zones. Winter War looks like it could be a board game. The stage is set for the upcoming battles Graphics & Sound Germany and Sweden did send some support, while France and Britain drew up a plan that never came into fruition, and their attempts to send military equipment was blocked by Germany. And this despite the fact that no other nation really stepped in to aid Finland. But Finland still held out longer and inflicted greater casualties on the Soviet Union than any nation predicted, and the Soviet Union did not gain as much land as they likely had anticipated. The truth is not as glamorous though, Finland ultimately lost the war, and had to sign a peace treaty that was favourable to the Soviet Union. It makes for a great story, where the Finnish underdog beat the massive Soviet Bear (fitting, as Finland was portrayed as a small dog in Soviet propaganda). The popular narrative these days is that the small nation of Finland held back the Soviet army, and won the war. When Finland refused, the Soviet Union invaded. The Soviet Union had demanded that they would get land from Finland, near the southern end of the Finnish/Soviet border, in exchange for less valuable land elsewhere. The winter war took place between November of 1939 and March of 1940. Yep, that’s Finland, alright! Story & Setting
