What a horrible painting.

Correct.
One should think it was made in Sweden

A more 'realistic' scenario would be Swedish intervention in Finland/Åland in the wake of he Russian revolution.

Well you must be aware of the Swedish military expedition that briefly took control of Ahvenanmaa/Åland during the Finnish Civil War [FCW]? They left the islands when the Germans arrived.

Later when the debate about the ownership of the said islands was handled in the League of Nations, Finland was prepared to demand the northern areas of Västerbotten (belonging to Sweden) if Ahvenanmaa/Åland would have been given under the Swedish control. An escalation of that scenario could be used as a background, I think. Especially if the Danes would then make a move towards Scania...

I have recently accumulated some pics from the FCW, if it's ok for the OP of this thread, I can post them in this thread later on or then start a new thread for them.

for proxy figures how about Brigade Games WW I Austrians, two of their packs have ankle gaiters
Or Renegades WW I Austrians, they are larger than the BG though.

I guess the most likely, potential conflict was a bit earlier, in 1905, when Norway left the union with Sweden. Even if war was not close, both the Norweigians and the Swedes pulled up troops to the border:

You mean the Åland crisis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85land_crisis

He means the very same, former user. As in Wales with Welsh and English, and for similar reasons, many places in Finland have two names. In this case the Årland islamds are also called Ahvenanmaa.

Hope that helps.

I'd love to see the photos pocoloco
