Flames of War: Finnish Maxim MG Platoon (x4)
The Finnish Army made extensive use of the Maxim M/09 machine gun, a locally modified version of the Russian M1910. Mounted on wheeled Sokolov carriages and often camouflaged or fortified, these crew-served weapons provided essential sustained fire in both defensive and offensive operations during the Winter War and Continuation War. Reliable, battle-proven, and familiar to Finnish crews, the Maxim became a cornerstone of Finnish infantry support tactics.
