Less than zero interest in this dlc, hopefully any new mechanics don’t break the game again

    After making two based Dlc, they gotta make up for it by making cringe.

    My consolation is that I'm going to have a more fun time absolutely crushing the Finnish reactionaries again

    Wonder how much they can add to Finland since my only interaction in game with them is capitulating and puppeting them in 40/41.

    Just a reminder Finland outlawed socialist parties and suppressed SocDem parties with the military (which acted on its own disobeying the civilian government’s directive to ease on repression often) and far right militias. This after Finland had 10000 suspected communists executed without trial and threw so many others in camps. Then you had their participation in WWII (including the siege of Leningrad) which Mannerheim’s own personal objection to was due to his personal dislike of Hitler for not being of blue blood.

    But don’t let that get in the way of Le wholesome Reddit belt democracy wanking.

      Don’t really care about the nazi collaboration regime, but hopefully the socialist path for finland will be based. I’m imagining fighting the northern front liberating Norway and Denmark. (And maybe preemptively invading Sweden) I wonder how the socialist path for Norway will work though. Will the soviets join the war in 1939?

    "Finland was considered by most a co-belligerent country to Germany, instead of an actual German ally and member of the Axis."

        Are poles also proud of their Nazi collaborators like Ukrainians?

          Nah, I'll "hand it" to them for at least not glamorizing collaborators They just outright ignore their complicity .

          I meant more as in they have the audacity to whine about the MR pact while Poland was carving up Czechoslovakia the year before.

            I can get their dislike of the MRP although it was the fault of Polish foreign policy of trying to form the PLC.

            Atleast Poles accept the reality that the Nazis were there to exterminate them, not make their Aryans or whatever Ukrainian Nazis believe.

      It's like how the Wehrmacht were a co-belligerent faction within Germany. They fought with the Nazis not for the Nazis. It's called the Clean Wehrmacht myth theory historical fact.
