Default Re: Finland about to discontinue lots of equipment around 2015

- Apilas LAW
- 95 mm recoilless rifle ("Musti")
- 152 mm howitzers (both towed and self-propelled)

Probably no point in adjusting OOBs, but perhaps something for scenario designers to keep in mind (in case somebody is actually doing post 2015 scenarios featuring Finland).
Probably it's not worth changing anything as the replacement equipment hasn't been decided yet. Some speculations exists that NLAW is the replacement for Apilas and Spike MR will replace 95 mm recoilless, but it's all guesses and speculations.
