Overview:
Despite it's reputation, the Mannerheim Line was nothing more than a series of strong points built around bunkers and fortified towns. The 5th Division was stationed in the Summa sector and was made up of untried troops except for a few border soldiers who had been involved in the delaying actions of the first weeks of the war. However the Finns had one thing that Russians hadn't counted on, Sisu! (Guts or Balls!). The first big Russian push in the Summa Sector began on 17th of December following a four hour artillery bombardment and a massive aerial attack.Attacker: Russian (Elements of the 138th Rifle Division and 20th Tank Brigade)
Defender: Finnish (Elements of the 5th Division)

| 2024-12-14 | (D) Jobbo Fett | vs | RootinPutin | Finnish win | A Finnish victory largely due to a timid attack by the Russians. The KV-1's are frightening (especially when you lose your ATR relatively early through a 12 and subsequent 6 on the repair roll), with their 76mm guns striking for 14FP. The chance at easier critical hits when using the ITT and their own high defense (and multitude of machine guns) make them able beasts at approaching the enemy line and setting up a powerful base of fire. Just have the T-26s do the dirty work of finding all those AT Ditches and wires! That said, however, I do think the AT Rock Formations are a little much. There's no reason to make the AT Ditch more dangerous in this scenario, particularly when the Finns only have 1 ATR and no other strong anti-tank assets that can strike at a distance (molotovs, on the other hand, are dangerous!) Feels like the scenario needs a tweak, but not a large one to make it enjoyable on multiple playthroughs. |
