Overview:
To delay the Soviet onslaught from reaching the main Finnish defense line, the finns engaged in a series of fighting withdrawals. Orders for one such delaying action was directed to 1st Company, Hämmen ratsurykmeniti (Häme cavalry regiment) at the small village of Perkjärvi, with support from the only combat-worthy AFV in the entire Finnish army at the time, a Landsverk 182 armored car commanded by Vilho Savikurki. After a suitbale delay, the Finns began to pull out when Savikurki realized a Soviet force had cut off the cavalry's rearguard platoon from the rest of the force. As Soviet fire poured in from all directions, Savikurki's armored car was able to escort the cavalrymen to safety, sheltering four wounded men inside the cramped quarters of the AFV.Attacker: Finnish (1st Company, Häme Cavalry Regiment)
Defender: Russian (24th Infantry Division)

| 2024-09-21 | (A) Jobbo Fett | vs | RootinPutin | Finnish win | The Finnish supermen were able to evacuate safely despite breaking on an unlucky set of morale checks at the first possible chance. There's something to be said about the poor quality of the Soviets and the Finns that can make or break the enjoyment one has with a scenario like this. I would have much preferred if the victory condition included not losing the Armored Car (else you raise the EVP required from 5 to 7) to make life a little more dangerous for the attacker. I'd be curious to know how most of the ROAR victories for the Russians happened (an impossible ask) as I really think this one comes down to a few lucky rolls and then forcing surrenders for them. | ||
| 2024-01-06 | (A) Pascal Boileau | vs | Alban Bureau | Finnish win | A small and funny scenario. The Finns won by entering on the Northeast and exiting in the Southwest area of the map in the last turn. The armored car was very useful but the dice were also deadly for the Russians. This combination proved to be fatal for the Russian troops. | ||

| 2023-11-22 | (D) O Ramaille | vs | Eric Partizan Eric | Finnish win | My mostly inexperimented Russians tried to stop the escape of a group of Finns supported by a Swedish-made armored car. My initial plan to slow down the Finns in the woods worked quite well. My Russians resisted one or even two rounds of close combat, eroding the enemy forces a bit. My HMG pierced the enemy AFV with the first shot. And my forces managed to channel the enemy and close the accesses. However, the Finns found a way around with just enough VP, under a few inconsequential shots. The Russians repositionned themselves and my HMG guarded the exit. The brave Finns ran through the snow under enemy fire (4FP at -2), passed their 2MC. The HMG fired... and jammed! The last sporadic shots were unsufficient to stop the Finns, who escaped. A victory for the Finns in a suspenseful scenario, with the Russians unexpectedly close to victory. A very dicey and quick scenario, but also fun to play. | ||
| 2023-08-06 | (A) Douglas Leslie | vs | Jeff Howell | Finnish win (VASL Log) | For the re-match against Jeff. I took the Finns. Jeff set up the MMG with his Commissar beside the woods road in W9. The Finnish sniper got hot and took out the Commissar before breaking an conscript squad.. The armoured car broke its MA but used its remaining MGs to interdict Russians trying to cross the road to reinforce the northern half of the board. This is a problem for the Russians in this scenario. They have to defend the area to the south of the road but can have problems getting across the road if the Russians attack to the north. The Finns' morale held firm as they approached the HMG position form different directions and Jeff conceded on turn 4 with only one conscript squad left from his starting OB. I think that the Russians probably need the balance for this one. |
