Pages should be ready for final tyop check in few days. And some words on progress of this "mod" (is this addon, addon pack or mod?). 7,62 RK 62 - a bit older assault rifle - is almost ready, needs just some fine tuning on textures. 55 S 55 - old light RCL - is also almost there. "Whiiiii!"

That's huge progress And as far as I know Blake already came back from his euro tour

Â Actually this pack is nowadays mostly made by members ofLDD Kyllikki and Finnish Platoon. Also few invidual fighters from other Finnish squads. Mikko is from Finnish Platoon. Â

Were there any big harbors on Suursaari? Some kind of military harbor would be good, haven't seen any of those in user made OFP islands yet.<span id='postcolor'> You're right about that airstrip. Big harbors in Suursaari... Well there are/were two villages Suurkylä and Kiiskinkylä. Both have harbor. Sadly those harbors aren't too huge Nice hide-outs for U-boats.. but douh.. this isn't WWII submarine sim? Â

Maybe there's room for some sort of airstrip at southern tip of Suursaari. Just watch out for that Pakarakallio (for Finnish readers ) when landing. BUT... It's up to Edge does he want to keep Suursaari realistic without air strip or not so realistic with one.

I was mostly thinking of mainland terrain with a coastline, lakes rivers and swamps<span id='postcolor'> AFAIK it has to be island. Try flying "out of map" and you'll see. Just came back from library, didn't find too many maps about Suursaari & co. Mostly rough drawings made by drunk pirates.. ehmm.. scientists I mean. From "province archives" I found hand drawn colored maps on all of them.

Nothing useful...  I dont know too much about Finnish geography, but I suppose many people here surely know some nice island not exceeding 12.8 x 12.8 km in size, with some hills AND with the available map (see details in my last post here). So, any ideas, any suggestions?<span id='postcolor'> I haven't visited library yet. It's so f**king cold today almost -30C. But later today... Other islands. Kökar? Föglö? Lemland? Or some other island of Ĺland. They're located between Sweden and Finland. Belong to Finland and have been demilitarized since WWII. Go to kartta.nls.fi and register and explore southern coast of Finland. What about Naissaar near Tallinn? Some rough overview of Naissaar. And some more information @ http://www.ee/naissaar/. "Naissaar militaarobjektina".. hehe

I have some time tomorrow. I'll check local library and "province archives". There's about 20 books matching query for word Suursaari. For example one that sounds quite interesting: "Suursaari kuvin ja sanoin" (roughly: Suursaari by pictures and words) by Eino Havas, 1920. So let's see what material we can acquire for free... Oh and btw. Who's going to wrestle with WrpEdit for manymany sleepless nights?

Is there any possibility for foreigner to buy maps from this organisation?<span id='postcolor'> I don't know about prices. Check  National Land Survey of Finland website. And like you mentioned Karttakeskus (aka GeniMap company) is another option. There is also free map service for Finnish maps at Karttapaikka, but unfortunately there aren't any detailed (that means pre-war I guess) maps available about Suursaari.
