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?".

Yes. there is a whole chapter on Scandanavia in Shadows of Europe.

Thanks Daddy

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....

Ikea is now Ikillya, selling a line of combat-oriented furniture at affordable prices.

Combat-oriented furniture?

Troll adepts are, clearly, a big enough market.

hey, close combat with a specialization in bar stools

all ikea combat furniture comes with easy breakdown(manual) as a built-in mod although it's only easy if you haven't lost the allen key...

bah, any good geek have a collection of those attached to the key chain. that or as part of their swiss army knife

First off: Why the Swedish military??

I've served my 10 compulsory months in the swedish army, so ask away..

They are into bioengineering, developing pets for the home, but you have to put their dogs together from a kit.
