Overview:

Along the Karelian Front, as the Soviets crossed the borders, the Finnish forces executed a planned withdrawal to the Mannerheim Line. In the north, however, the Finns were ordered to oppose the Russian advance at every opportunity. At Kuhmo, the 54th Russian Rifle Division advanced along the Repola-Hukkajarvi road. The 13th Finnish Reinforced Battalion, numbering some 1200 reservists, sought to block its advance. At 1030 hours, a mere nine hours after the Soviets renounced their non-aggression pact with Finland, the lead Russian elements encountered the Finns in prepared positions.
Attacker: Russian (81st Rifle Regiment)

2023-10-05(A) Shane Pask vs Russian winThe Finns could get nothing working and it was all over by turn 8 with only 1 Finn HS and ATR left and the road clear (2 wire, roadblock and minefield removed). I sent everything through the forest and the Finns struggled to get their board 2 troops over the hill and into contact.
2022-08-05(D) David Garvin vs Bill Sosnicki Russian win
2021-07-09(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Finnish winUsed German balance.The Russians chose the woods road approach resulting in the infantry getting ahead of his vehicles. Many Russian double sixes helped the Finnish cause.
2021-07-09(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Finnish winMade early mistake of splitting my forces into two parts before realizing VC exit was any 'single' road hex. The Deep Snow prevented northern group from linking backup with other group making it's way to the west edge of board 5.
2020-07-04(D) A Fifteen vs John Garlic Russian win
