Battle Of Finland Addons





Generally



Battle Of Finland mission engine is developed from Dutertreīs great Bellum Warīs 
BADC concept. The game itself has developed during past years and users needs more 
difficult scenarios and missions, so our team took the challenge and launched quite 
big modification process. We hope that the results please most of the online pilots.
Below is listed some changes that have been made when comparing "old" Bellum War and
Battle of Finland.



Field camps and ground sector attacks



Field camps are rebuilt. New light and smoke effects are added to camps. 
Field camps have now strong artillery and machine gun defence and most of cases 4 defending 
tanks in front of them. Type of defending tanks is variable.
Attacking army has 3 groups of 3 tanks supported by 2 car columns with AAA. 
Attack to sector is successful when 60-80% attacking vehicles survive depending on the sectors 
supply or TTL (Time To Live) situation. 
The attacked sector have air cover which main goal is to destroy attacking tanks and vehicles. 
Attacker will have fighters or fighterbombers as air cover of attacking ground units if 
planned by mission requester.



Sea sector attacks



Sea sectors can be conquired by same manner as ground ones. Attacker has 5 attacking
ships: 3 merchant and 2 armoured, gunboat or destroyer class, ships. Survival limits are
2-3 ships depending on the sea sectors supply situation. Defenders will have 1-2 static gunboats or
destroyers. Attacking navy unit has air cover and defending side torpedobombers with escorting fighters
if mission requesters planned so.



Time and weather



Weather is full scale as the game gives, but mostly good. Mission time can be anything between 6am to 9pm. 
When the weather is poor or worse, AI quided pilots will be at least normal level trying to avoid ground and 
mid-air collisions made by AI pilots.



Headquarters



Both armies have headquarters which act like a city with target areas, supply state etc. The
location of enemy (or own) HQ is somehow "secret". It can only be seen when participating mission
which has something to do with it. The speciality of the HQ is that itīs "health" affects the
virtual day recovery. Normally the change of virtual day recovers cities 20% and airfields 15%,
if army HQ is damaged 50%, the virtual day recovery is 10% and 7.5%. The state of ones HQ damage makes
airfields and cities recovery individual for both sides.



Ground supply



Cities and HQ can be supplied by army car columns. They will have fighter cover and enemy will
send ground attack planes escorted by fighters to destroy the columns. Each survived vehicle will 
resupply city or HQ by 0.4%.



Penalties



Shooting friendlies, air or ground ones, is highly penaltized like shooting ANY parachute.



Bonus



Special bonus is given to host after reporting the mission.



Partial or full airkills



Because of possible "kill stealing"", BOF gives chance to get partial airkill points.
The only change to get those points is to damage enemy aircraft so hard that the game log register it. 
If someone else shoots damaged plane down after you have damaged it, you will get 50% of airkill points as assistance bonus. 




What else?



The best thing: We are using the biggest and the most beautiful maps !!! No limits this far ;-))
