Weapons[]
Though still reliant on javelins and slings for ranged weapons, the bronze javelins are considered very advanced for the region and much of Northern Europe and the Eastern Baltic is still in the Stone Age. Along with bronze javelins come bronze pikes that are the favored choice of the Suomi as they help in popular defensive formations and can stop any/all cavalry.
Bears[]
Beginning around 213 BCE the first War Bears began being bread for the purpose of war. Though currently the Finnish lack large amounts of bears and bear handlers they are known to be fearsome in battle.
Tactics[]
The Proto-Finns offen prefer tactics of luring and trapping. A common tactic is to make their force seem much smaller and vulnerable to attack to that the enemy is more enclined to attack actually larger/more deadly armies. In the battlefield a common tactic is creating geometrics shapes in formations with pikemen being on the edge and slings or javelineers on the interior.
