(FSO112)
includes one Command Rifle team, one Observer team, one Staff team, four sets of Artillery crew, one Small three-hole base, one Small two-hole base & one Medium four-hole base.
Finnish artillery is well-trained, although equipped with a motley collection of older guns. The most common is the Russian 76mm field gun, the 76 K/02.
The Finns had 190 76 K/02 guns that were either captured or bought between 1918 and 1931. The Finns also used 75mm guns borrowed from Sweden for the Winter War, the 75 K/02. These had a similar performance to the 76 K/02.
