FINNISH CIVIL WAR is a free "print-and-play" wargame of the civil conflict in Finland in the early months of 1918. The game is for two players, one representing the elected government of the recently independent state (the White player) and the other the perhaps-irresistible forces of proletarian revolution (the Red Player).

The game comes in two versions:
1) a company/battalion scale one with 280 counters and uses a system heavily modified from the designer's previously published games Freikorps, Konarmiya and War Plan Crimson; and
2) a brigade scale one that has 50 counters and an even more heavily modified system.

Both versions use the same map (hex grid of southern Finland, at 12 map miles/ 20 km per hex). Special units and chromy bits include: variable-strength Red and White Guard units; Armored Trains; the spring thaw that occurred midway through the war; peace negotiations, German intervention and Russian withdrawal (including the Future Guilt Clause!); General Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim; German Tactical Agility; White guerrillas; and the Swedish Talent Agency.

Was available for free download at designer's personal webpage (http://www.islandnet.com/~ltmurnau/text/gamescen.htm), but in October 2012 the designer concluded an agreement with Compass Games for them to publish this game in issue #82 of Paper Wars magazine, due to appear in late 2013 or early 2014. Compass Games has requested that the free version of the game be taken down. Both versions of the game will appear in the magazine.
