Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in late February, along with his pointed reminder about the Kremlin’s nuclear arsenal and his repeated invocation of broad territorial claims stemming from the days of the Russian Empire, have galvanized current NATO nations into strengthening their collective defenses and bringing on board new members.įinland - until 1917 a grand duchy in that empire - and Sweden abandoned longtime national policies of military nonalignment.
Both Finland and Sweden are in a region on one of Europe’s front lines and meeting places with Russia.įinland, defending against Soviet Russia’s invasion on the eve of World War II, relied on fighters on snowshoes and skis, expert snow and forest camouflage, and reindeers transporting weapons. In contrast to the NATO expansion of former Soviet states that needed big boosts in the decades after the Cold War, the alliance would be bringing in two sophisticated militaries and, in Finland’s case, a country with a remarkable tradition of national defense. That’s especially so as the rapid melting of the Arctic from climate change awakens strategic rivalries at the top of the world. “That actually happened.”Īs the exercise made clear, NATO’s addition of Finland and Sweden - what President Joe Biden calls “our allies of the high north” - would bring military and territorial advantages to the Western defense alliance. “For those who years from now will doubt it,” Kuoka, modestly stunned by the outcome of the random skirmish, wrote in an infantry-focused blog recording the outcome, of an episode he later confirmed for The Associated Press. Marines - the Finns’ designated adversary in the NATO exercise and members of America’s professional and premier expeditionary force - in the mock firefight that followed.įinnish camouflage for the Arctic snow, scrub and scree likely had kept the Americans from even realizing the command post was there when they landed, Finnish commander Lt. The second surprise: Spilling out of their field headquarters, the Finnish Signal Corps communications workers and others inside routed the U.S. Marine helicopter assault force, touching down in a field right next to the Finns’ well-hidden command post. So this is a little blog about upgrading order.WASHINGTON (AP) - The first surprise, for the Finnish conscripts and officers taking part in a NATO-hosted military exercise in the Arctic this spring: the sudden roar of a U.S. I guess.īut first: HQ always comes first, doesn't matter. As long as you got the XP requirement for unlocking the next level of HQ, do it. There's no downside and you get more offense and defense capabilities. Tank (the basis of Tmed, future overpowered army of no-loss destruction)Ħth LC, Boom Cannon (anti-Tank weapon), level 12 LCs (extremely great for anything except warriors) Warriors (powerful unit, especially with level 8 LC) Shock Bomb (tell those OP defenses to shut up!) Level 21 LCs (if you ever need them for Medic-dependent armies) Scorcher (for Scorcher-Zooka or Scorcher-Tanks)Ĭritters (great distraction for single-shot defenses, also doubles as an emergency cleanup weapon)Ĩth LC, 2nd SL, level 20 LCs (boosts just about every comp known to mankind) Shock Launcher (great threat to anything), level 17 LCs (fits 7 Warriors/boat, and also a Scorcher) Medic (revives Tanks and Rooka combos), Weapon Lab (the prototypes it can make are able to devastate)ħth LC, Grenadier (for Grankmed), level 16 LCs (much help for Hooka / Tmed) Smoke Screen (the era of Smokey Warriors begins) Generally there's no definite "best" upgrading order for stuff, but you may do want to upgrade these at your own discretion.
Upgrading multiple army compositions at once seems overwhelming but is good in the long run.Īmong all these, I'd say Sculptor comes first because that means more potential Magma/Dark statues on your base which improves offense :) #BOOM BEACH TROOPS UPGRADE UPGRADE# This is known to be one of the most popular armies. Gunboat, for extra GBE which may mean the difference between an extra Shock Bomb or Critter box or not.The Landing Crafts, get them to all level 8 first, then level 11 next, then level 14, then 17 and then 20.Do three upgrades on one Landing Craft, once they reach the levels stated here start working on the next LC.
