Northern Fronts - Scandinavia in WW2

[sokolonko 159]

 

Mod description:

Northern Fronts devteam in cooperation with FWW2 is proud to announce development of Northern Fronts mod for Arma 3. The mod will add armies fighting in Scandinavia during World War two, including:

• Finnish Army [1939 - 1945] - Winter War, Continuation War and Lapland War,
• Royal Norwegian Army and Navy [1940] - Invasion of Norway,
• Norwegian Ressistance fighters [1940 - 1945] - Occupied Norway,
• Red Army [1939 - 1940] - Winter War,
• Danish Army [1940] - Invasion of Denmark,
• Foreign volounteers - fighting in Finland and Norway
   

About: Mod is going to include realistic representations of weaponry, equipment and vehicles used by all the forces listed above, allowing the community to create great scenarios taking place in cold, northern countreis. The development started in November 2017 and with increasing support from community, FWW2 team and Finnish community modders it was possible to create huge variety of assets with custom models, textures, animations and sounds. After first succesfull beta-test we are happy to announce the mod to the public. It is important to note that Northern Fronts is aiming to be a standalone mod, it doesn't use any dependencies, although it includes ACE compatibility. We do realise that players will be using other mods just to have oposing faction for forces included in Northern Fronts, but we don't want to force usage of any mods. It is also worth noting that Northern Fronts team stands strongly against ripping the assets from other mods or games without their permission and will take seriously any violation of team's rights to the created content.

Development: Although our aim is to include all the listed factions in A3, we had to start somewhere and set up a list of priorities.The decision has been made to start with Finnish Army in Continuation/Lapland War and currently the mod includes most of infantry weaponry used by Finnish forces in that period. Further development will include both small and big updates:

Big updates will consist of bunch of fresh assets, altough won't be frequent. Those assets might be an introduction of new army, a pack of weapons an uniforms, or some vehicles.

Small updates will be thematical and limited to small ammount of assets, yet more frequent than the big ones: example can be a Sissi/Jaeger update which will include pieces of equipment unique for light infantry or scout units, such as long-range radio, explosives or bicycles. Those updates will always be focused around a theme, making each of them something unique and giving possibilities for new scenarios to be created.

FAQ
Where do I report bugs or share my suggestions?

We use our discord server as main way of communication with the community: https://discord.gg/2UeReb

 

Will there be more terrain in the mod?

Temppa's terrains are amazing but they take ages to create, therefore it's not expected to see much more terrains any time soon. This does not mean that work on terrains is closed, it only means you need to be patient and keep your eyes open for progress updates from the team. You can also support Temppa by inventing a device that would fuse drinking beer and being in sauna directly into Arma 3 terrains.
 

I feel like this mod really needs a scenario, will you make one?

Yes! One day we will. For now look for community made scenarios on Steam Workshop.
 

I want to help with development, but I don't know anything about 3d modelling or texturing, how can I be of any use?

Easiest way: go to our discord and tell the developers what you think about the mod, give some feedback or just throw some nice words. Remember that each time you tell developer he is doing a great job, he works 0,005% faster.
The other way: learn modding, now it's best time to start. 3d modelling is suprisingly easy and with some tutoring you will have really nice results quickly. Your assets will be used in mod, with your name listed amongst the other devs (you can show it to your friends and family so they will ask you some uncomfortable questions). You can also try and make some weapon sounds, animations, textures, anything that you feel like doing, the community is full of people willing to share their knowledge, and Northern Fronts developers are more than happy to help you. Remember it has to be fun to you though, after all we make it for free and for our own satisfaction. Make sure to catch up with Sokolonko on our Discord if you feel like modding might be something fun for you, he will guide you through the grim and dangerous lands of Arma 3 modding.

 

Will the Norwegians get more assets?

Eventually, yes but it's not a high priority. Norwegians didn't use a lot of equipment during the war and it's really difficult to find refrence pictures of the assets that were used. Frankly speaking, most of the equipment used by Norwegians is already in the mod.

 

When will Swedes and Danes be added?

Eventually, yes but we are focusing more on Finnish and Soviet factions. Even though both Swedish and Danish forces (including Danish Ressistance!) are an exciting vision, we simply don't have enough manpower to focus on them. Finnish front is well docummented and due to the popularity a lot of 3D assets can be purchased online what makes the production much simpler. For less popular assets used by Swedes and Danes we have to work on everything from scratch, not only it's harder to find good refrence of the assets, but it's also much more time consuming. As an example: Bofors 37mm gun took about 40 hours only to create the model, in half of that time we were able to purchase, texture and implement 4 other static guns.

 

More assets when?

When ready! Implementation process for vehicles takes ages. Thankfully now after 1.0 we have a great base to build on so the progress should be a lot smoother.

I'm a single girl attracted to Arma 3 modders, can I invite any of you guys for coffe?
Jokes on you, we are all single girls!

Just wanted to come in and say this is a great addon! I'm personally getting more and more interested in the WW2 armies outside of the Germans, Soviets and primary western allies. The animations are well done and the units themselves look great! I look forward to further releases.

Now with the first release we've been focusing on the first bigger update of the mod which is... 

 

The cavalry update. 

 

This upcoming update will feature the Finnish cavalry along with their most common gear.

 

 

History of the Finnish Cavalry is long and reaches back to the early 1600's. Back then Finnish cavalry earned fame in various European battlegrounds. Their war-cry "Hakkaa päälle!" was used to describe then in literature as Hackapells or Hakkapeliitta. Finnish Civil War saw creation of some Cavalry units, which had their traditional roots in the original 30-Years-War cavalry regiments. Cavalry Brigade was created in 1921 to Lappeenranta. Cavalry Brigade later contained some non-cavalry units such as Jaeger Battalions 1 and 6. The special role of the cavalry regiments required special gear such as riding pants and cavalry carbines.

 

Winter War also saw some small cavalry squadrons being formed as part of Light Detachments. Most known one is the Cavalry Squadron of the Light Detachment 8, which suffered heavy losses at the battle of Äyräpää in 1940. This attack was pictured in the movie "Talvisota (1989)". The Cavalry Brigade fought in the Karelian Isthmus in 1939, Ladoga motti battles in 1940, Eastern-Karelia in 1941, VT-Line 1944, Vyborg Bay Battles & Ilomantsi in 1944.

 

 

First of the two regiments in the Cavalry Brigade was the Uusimaa Dragoon Regiment. This battalion sized regiment had their own dragoon collar insignia with blue piping on yellow. Field Marshall Mannerheim was Colonel in Chief of the regiment. In the Winter War, the URR was commanded by Col. Harry Alfthan and in the Continuation War by Lt. Col. Hans von Essen

 

 

Second, but not least; of the Cavalry Brigade's Regiments is the Häme (Tavastian) Cavalry Regiment. Their collar insignia was red on yellow. In Winter War the regiment was commanded by Lt Col. Matti Tiiainen and in the Continuation War, the regiment was led by Col. Gustaf Ehrnrooth and from 1944 by Maj. Mauno Sirama

 

 

Naturally, The Cavalry requires their own carbine in their mod. This M/27 Infantry Rifle based carbine was the main firearm of the Cavalry Brigade in WW2.

 

*Credit missing from the image: Saucco for the DP-27 sounds in addition to h-

 

The update will contain one extra weapon for all Finnish units: the DP-27. This Soviet LMG became the most common LMG in Finnish usage.

 

Stay tuned for the future updates, there will be more content coming along this update.

Hello mate, we are aware of the issue and we are working hard to get it fixed.

It is on the top of our list for fixing.

 

Cheers for the feedback.

To those of you who missed it - Northern Fronts got updated yesterday!
The Winter War started 79 years ago today on the 30th of November 1939 and because of this significant day in the history of the Finnish nation, the NF team and I are proud to bring you the Cavalry Update, featuring many hours of blood, sweat and tears as well as small elements of Sokolonko's sanity. This update took the team back to the days of Finnish cavalry and features all the content shown to you via our previous announcements as well as much more! From our ragtag family to yours, thank you for all the support and kind words, we hope to have more news and screenshots for you soon! For a full changelog check out our steam workshop site or BIforums page!

Thank you for the help. But the invite for the discord has expired apparently. Am i the only one really having this problem? Checked the other weapons and they seem fine. The Kp/31 "Suomi" is the only weapon that seems to have an error. (Only the drum magazine is visible, the whole gun is invisible, then my game crashes.)

Hello there everyone! Temppa and the rest of the team are proud to announce the release of the Northern Fronts: Terrain mod. It (for now) includes 2 terrains; Olhava and Summa. What's special about Summa is that it's out first winter map! You can download it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1630816076

But wait, that's not all! We also published a small patch to the mod itself that *should* fix a couple of issues with lag in MP. See you next time for some more news!

Hi Temppa, I would like to edit a mission (Operation Archery) of WW2 in Suursaari winter map, but I would need a version with sea water, as is the original map, it would be a lot to ask for such a version? Thanks for your attention!

Hello everyone,

 

We announced our next bigger update on 1st April out of any possible dates with a puzzle. It was solved pretty quickly; and as some might have predicted the next update will be adding the Norwegian Armed Forces and the Norwegian Resistance. The added content will also include generic 1940's civilians. Northern Fronts Terrains will be updated with Vinjesvingen terrain.

 

I'll let the pictures talk for themselves:
