I've joined a game where we are a special forces team, with members from across the world. Wanting something different to any of the traditionally major nations, I decided to pick a character who is from the Swedish Military.
However, I'm just wondering, has anything ever been detailed in English, about Sweden? Have they been involved in any military conflicts? Are they still considered to be a neutral country? Has anything important happened nearby to them, that would change things? They had the ability to mobilise 1 million troops during the Cold War, but now it isn't close to that amount. I would like to comment that I'm not Swedish, before anyone offers me any advice in Swedish, so I won't be able to understand and would merely reply with "Huh?". |

Thanks Daddy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Typical, that it's one of the few books I haven't got! However, I'm pleased they got a whole chapter. I imagined most of the book would have gone to Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, with the odd detail for some of the other countries. Now to just get my hands on a copy.... |
