Rovajärvi

From The D Archives

A large shooting range of the defence forces in Lapland. Mostly just the artillery and mortarmen go here along with the guys from artillery forward observation. It's basically a large unpopulated area in which the guys with the biggest guns go out to play.

I've never been here myself, since I had nothing to do with the artillery. Not that I would've liked to go here for at least two weeks at a time - which is usually the minimum amount of time spend there by a unit belonging to a indirect fire support battery. Although I'm sure it would've given me a whole bunch of new stories to tell curious people about experiencing a completely new sensation of coldness, eating field rations for two weeks and not being able to bathe for at least the same amount of time.
