World War III: Nordic Forces introduces Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Danish forces to World War III: Team Yankee, as Soviet forces attack into Scandinavia

The Swedes are mostly self-sufficient for their military technology with the unique S-tank, a low profile design combining survivability and a powerful 105mm gun. Their well armed infantry are mounted in the Pbv 302 APC armed with a 20mm autocannon. Supplementing their locally manufactured equipment the Swedes also field the Centurion tank, but even this has been extensively upgraded with improved fire-control systems and Explosive Reactive Armour. The Swedes also have integrated Finnish support as the Soviets attack through Lapland.

The Finnish armoured forces field T-72FM1, T-72FM2, and T-55M, Soviet tanks with local improvements and newer western technology applied. Their Jääkäri infantry are mounted in BMPs and BTR60s with a good mix of fire support weapons such a missiles, recoilless rifles, and mortars. The Finnish also have integral Swedish support, which can provide much needed air-support.

The Norwegians have more conventional equipment, fielding Leopard 1 tanks in their armoured forces and M113 APCs for their mechanised infantry. They also field their own unique M113 tank-hunter variant, the NM142, armed with TOW missiles. American M60 tanks, infantry, and attack helicopters, can also be taken as support options.

The Danes field both Leopard 1 and Centurions tanks in their armoured forces, as well older Centurions armed with 20 pdr guns in support. The rest of their forces use conventional vehicles like M113 transports, M106 & M125 Mortars, ans M109 self-propelled howitzers. The Danes can call on integrated West German allied support and have access to West German Leopard 2 tanks, Panzergrenadiers, Roland and Gepard Anti-aircraft, PAH anti-tank helicopters.
