I will need at least 450 pre-orders for the Vol. 1 Winter War game before I can go for a print run! PayPal will not be attached until the game is in a final production stage. I will notify when we reach that stage.

June 30th, 2009
New Winter War, and Continuation War countersheets in the Beta News menu. Air and Naval units are still in the working progress, as well as main campaign/scenario OOBs for both volumes.

Quiz!

Mikugames is arranging a quiz throughout July. Everybody may participate one time.
1st prize is a complete Finnish Trilogy (all three games) + a unique "Finnish Trilogy" T-shirt.
2nd prize is the Winter War game + T-shirt.
3rd – 5th prizes are a T-shirt.
The winners will be announced here on August 3rd. The T-shirts will be shipped right away and the game(s) when they are finished. All expenses on me. T-shirts are in the sizes of M, L & XL.
Simply send me a mail to info@mikugames.com with your full name (both your real first and last name) and your answers to the ten questions below. Be legible! (e.g. 1=1, 2=x, 3=2, etc.). Only one option is correct (either 1, x, or 2). If several contesters have reached the same end result, I will determine the winner (an advantage for all who have made a pre-order) ;-)
Good Luck!
