When does EU come to Finland?

[tonhur]

How soon can I expect to find EU in stores here in Finland?

And no I am not even remotely interested if its possible get thru the net. I will not order anything from the net until I'm able to pay for the things I order in post office when they arrive. I will not even consider payment with credit card or cheque.

Please I need an answer!

I have it since nov. 2000 here in Helsingfors, Nylandia but I ordered it through Bol.de. It came directly to my mail box, but yes, I paid it with my wifes credit card. Earlier games of the 'same' company -Havets vargar- were found at Akademiska Bokhandel and Suomalainen kirjakauppa and http:www.dose.net.
By the way, insignia of Finland is here incorrect, IMHO it should be 'finska lejon' with red background. Finska lejon can be found even at Gustav Vasa`s thomb at Stockholm.
Old 'lejonflaggan' was used before 1918 and declaration of republichood.

I am not sure about the legislation in Finland, but my guess is that you would need a referendum before joining EU.

I recommend voting 'Yes, please!'

Kudi : thanks, but it did not help me at all. EU is not in the upcoming games list of neither of the two companies you mentioned. I have checked all companies I know and none of them know about the game. I really hope this does not mean that I can't get the game as I have allready missed two games because they can't be bought from local stores and have to be ordered thru the net. (Combat mission and Space Empires IV)

Tonhur af Forssa,
In my opinion this game is so intresting and mukaansatempaava that I would take a Silja line boat to Stockholms Stor & Liten. One company selling all kind of rare computer stuff here in Helsingfors is pcsuperstore.fi, which is owned by norwegians. I have several times bougth rare software from there. They have shops even in Tammerfors and Åbo.

Kudi. I think you're right about the Finish lion. The shield should look something like this.

McGuinn,
wonderful work !
That is exactly the old 'Finnish lion' which is still in our official state flag (which is used only in 'federal' buildings). The common flag is without that Lion but many 'federal' things, like signs of officers and so on still hold this wery old insignia.
By the way, can this fine work of you be downloaded some day ? This 'Norden' scenario in Scenario Depot has wrong shields and I would like to replace it with this correct one.
Actually many famous 'Leaders' of Sweden and Russia were of finnish origin, like Ilja Muromets and Kutuzov, Fincke etc.
Maybe a new scenario is needed, where after being burnt by the finns the capital of the Tre Kronor is moved from Sigtuna not to Stockholm, but to Åbo. Or maybe to Nådendal.
And allso, it would be intresting, if after diversification of Kalmar Unionen, herzogendomet Finland had stayed under Danish yoke. Maybe I will do some variants.
So this original shield of Finland is just great !
Fine work.

Cheers Kudi. No problem, the rest of the 'Lion' shields are ready for dl. (And I hope you'll realize your scenario plans.)

Hee, seem like the emperor doesnt know all of his subjects! We Finns allready voted YES years ago. We joined EU at the same time with Austria and Sweden(was it?). Allthough Finns had controlled European affairs by unseen chains of command for years, we needed official status anyway.
