The Continuation War (jatkosota, fortsättningskriget, 25 June 1941 - 19 September 1944) was the second of two wars fought between Finland and the Soviet Union during World War II.
At the time of the war, the Finnish side used the name to make clear its perceived relationship to the preceding Winter War. The Soviet Union saw the war as a part of its struggle against Germany and its allies, the Eastern Front of World War II or, as it was known in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War. Germany saw its operations in the region as a part of its overall war efforts of World War II. It provided critical material support and military cooperation to Finland. The United Kingdom declared war on Finland on 6 December 1941, followed by its dominions shortly afterwards. The British declaration of war on Finland during the Continuation War is a rare case of democracies declaring war on other democracies, although no hostilities ensued between the two parties. The United States, like many other nations, did not fight or declare war against Finland.

Great! On this weekend we Finns have an "Aces High Spring Meeting 2015" and we are coming to the AvA with great numbers!

The setup is very good, but I noticed that the Kronstadt Isle and Port (P32) is on wrong side: It was Russian during the Winter War and the Continuation War. It has never been Finnish!
Also the southern fields 90-96 were captured by German's from 1941 to January 1944 (when Siege of Leningrad was lifted). So is it possible to add FW 190 A-5 and Ju87 D-3 and remove Brewster B-239, Hurri MkI and P40 C from those German occupied fields, please! ;)

Also the Detachment Kuhlmey should be a nice addition to the setup: The German FW190 jabos and Stukas situated on the Immola Airfield (A80) on June and July 1944. "The unit flew some 2,700 missions against the enemy and dropped 770 tonnes of bombs on the enemy. It destroyed over 150 Soviet aircraft, about 200 tanks, dozens of bridges and transport vessels. 23 of the pilots died and 24 were wounded in battle. The unit lost 41 of its aircraft to all reasons."

I will get on that!! The only problem with adding the 190 and JU 87 is there is only two sides in AvA . Finland was never German nor was russia. I can add them , but they will have to be flown by either side .

Thank you Shppr01, you can make the difference between German and Finland with plane setups on those fields. Finland and German were both Axis and they co-operated in Finnish Lapland and Karelian Isthmus. Though, as you know, Finnish Continuation war against Russia was also our individual war.

Thats Right ! Sorry . Im not up on my history as well as I should be .. Its all set up !!
-
:aok

One tip more Shipper:
There are very much historical fields in this map very near each other so maybe you can drop the Tower based radar range to half of normal for ex. 30000-33000? :)
-
Consider it done !
-
Shipper, you have set the radar range to 3 000, it is really short... :D It should be 30 000, so one null more, please! :salute
And can you add the FW 190 A-6 and Ju87 D-3 to Arena Message, too... Thank you for your patience!
-
Ill get right on it!
-
Shipper, I just noticed that radar settings are " full enemy", so the ¤Tower based radar range" don't affect to it. Radar is good now, thx once more! :salute
