Overview:

The first two weeks of front service had passed without any major incidences for the Swedish Volunteer Corps. Both sides tried to find weaknesses in the opposite line of defense. On the very day Lieutenant Colonel Viking Tamm took a section of the 2nd Rifle Company to conduct the final scouting of an area targeted for attack by the Swedes, the Russians surprised by attacking 2nd Rifle Company's now weakened front line. The attack was initiated by a Russian Scouting patrol that bumped into the engineers from the 2nd Plow Platoon, who were, under the supervision of Corporal Alm, laying wire on the moor. When the shooting started, Russians started pouring out into the field.

Defender: Swedish (2. Skyttekompaniet & 2. Plogplutonen, II. Stridsgruppen)
