THIRSK

Winter War ended exactly 70 years ago on this day, 13.3. with the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty.

With the peace treaty, Finland was forced to cede a tenth of its pre-war territories, including cities like Vyborg, Sortavala and Käkisalmi.

Additionally, Hanko had to be rented to the Soviet Union as a naval base for 30 years.

430 000 Karelians lost their homes.

Thirsk is a story from the borders of Finland and the deceased Soviet Union.

If you close your eyes and listen carefully, you can still hear the distant grumble of artillery salvos and infantry shouting "Hurraa!"

The area has been under Finland's and Soviet's control, which can be seen from the ruined communist villages and statues.

It is time to recall the memories of Thirsk and take up arms for one last time!

We found that the Winter Camos package is a small bug. It will be corrected few minutes. The correction requires that the Winter Camos package is loaded again.

Checked it out a little and i love it! Awesome work youve done. Feels very scandinavian and RHS green BMD2's fit right in. :) Love all the custom bits. Very good quality and attention to detail in areas.

I forsee russia attacking sweden in the future, and i will be there defending my country. :D

Thanks Raunhofer - brilliant work.

I love both maps, but I have a thing for the Snow map. I've never seen such a good snow map for ArmA II. Thirsk Winter+Blizzard logic+Snow OPFOR+Winter Spec Ops=Most epic missions. :D
