I think this should keep most happy as it is historically accurate, themed for the event, is a way of introducing new nationalities and is kinda cool. This would be a reward squad for the event.
The Kevyt Osasto 4 Finnish squad
The were known as Kuoleman Komppania (Company of Death) which fought along with the Germans against the Soviets and were primarily used for reconnaissance, raiding and mobile operations. Since they primarily worked behind enemy lines, and with guerrilla and saboteur in game, it could be made into a cool hybrid squad.
What made them unique was they used black M16/17/18 German helmets, but painted large white skull and crossbones over the helmet to instill fear in the enemy.
As the primarily used Mosin-Nagant rifles, they could easily port over the M91 or introduce a new M27 or 28. They also used the Suomi KP-31 and Lahti-Saloranta.
As I am a console player, I can’t add pics…but Google has them.
To off set factions…it is the perfect way to introduce a Gurkha squad for the Allies as they struck fear with their "Better to die than to be a coward " motto and their Khukuri knife…or the Black Devils (1st SSF) was a US/Canadian elite force that wore black face paint and left calling cards on dead German soldiers…all themed, all can be made into a hybrid unit.
Would you like to see the squads as event rewards?
