2025-07-29	(A) David Ramsey	vs	Martin Barker		Finnish win		This is a big scenario that can define your ability as a player who likes difficult defence setups, followed by having plenty of tools at your disposal to fend off a scary looking force. Pillbox networks, the usual assortment of wire, mines, AT trenches and a line of boulders, with an interesting rule about eliminating some of these from the get-go make this one seem interesting, but playing ftf is difficult due to the counter-density, should the finns setup in a concentrated manner (why wouldn't they) - and ultimately it was too tough for me. This isn't a slur on the scenario. It has interesting vehicles, every Finnish HMG available to them and minefields galore, but it is a little soul-destroying to attack up hill, across some open ground in the face of such firepower. Ultimately I'm not a good enough attacker to win in this one - and I conceded after a snake-eyes destroyed my T-100, the one tank that if I could avoid the mines, stood a chance of helping to clear the infantry by simply surviving (the FT tanks are amazing but very vulnerable). This scenario is for those that love heavy defences and big hammers to go at them with, but you'll have to get your hands dirty!
