On November 30 it is 70 years since the Soviet Union started its invasion of Finland, triggering the Winter War, and leading to one of the most heroic struggles for national survival that the 20th Century have seen. Against all odds the Finns managed to fight the Russian Steam-roller to a stand-still, and even though Finland was forced to cede much territory the independence was saved.

I have made a static 14-mission long campaign for the new Fokker D.XXI, that takes place during the Winter War, starting with the Soviet invasion, and ending with the last desperate struggles around Viipuri, when the Mannerheim Line was finally breached, forcing the Finns to call it a day. The campaign is called "Fight for Survival":

Well, as this is a non-modded campaign you will have to stick to using the skins (courtesy of Viikate, Hurri-khan and 1Java_Serval) that comes with the campaign.

But if you go for MODS there of course are excellent mods here on AAA to fix that. First and foremost McWolfs EXCELLENT Decals shine mod, that gives you MUCH better looking markings on all aircraft, and also includes swastikas on German and Finnish aircraft. You can find it here: viewtopic.php?t=11582&highlight=mcwolf+decal.

And when it comes to the looks of aircraft don't miss VpMedias Skin mod, that makes it very easy to swap the games default skins for one of your own liking. You can find it here: http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/. (BTW: You can find a lot of goodies on his site. IMHO he is one of the very best skinners around.)
