				Finnish War 
				
					Just found some interesting quotes -  
"Nobody respects a country with a poor army, but everybody respects a country with a good army. I raise my toast to the Finnish Army."  - J.Stalin 1948 
 
"We gained 22,000 square miles of territory. Just enough to bury our dead" -Soviet General, 1940 
 
"Finland alone - in danger of death, superb, sublime Finland  shows what free men can do." -Winston Churchill, 1939

				RE: Finnish War 
				 
					After the Finns signed an armistice witht the Soviets in September '44 the Finnish army fought several battles with the Wehrmacht as they attempted to eject them from Finnish territory in what became known as the Lapland War. Pity this can't be simulated in CMBB.
