Overview:
The Soviet offensive at Jandeba had left a dangerous bulge in the Finnish lines at Shemenski. It threatened to cut the Finnish forces in two, thus a counterattack was ordered with the two hills the primary objective. The ad-hoc unit given this assignment was named Plathan after it's commander, and contained a platoon of Swedish Volunteers led by Second Lieutenant Axel Hård of Sergerstad. Following an artillery barrage, the attack against the hills started, but the knee-deep mix of snow and mud slowed the Finns and Swedes significantly, while the Soviet artillery strikes and automatic weapons fire were taking their toll.Attacker: Finnish / Swedish (Detachment Plathan)
Defender: Russian (7th Separate Army)

| 2021-07-20 | (D) Stephen dedier | vs | Jim Holt | Finnish / Swedish win | We are playing through the pack and got to Mud and Blood. It looked just like a slog and i wasn't expecting much but it turned into one of them most fun scenarios we have played from the pack. Swede/Finns pushed up and knocked the Russians off the both hills. Artillery scattered them but didn't do a significant amount of damage. However, it did do enough in the big hill area to weaken the defenses for a counterattack. Russians managed a human wave on turn 6 which overran all of the finn/swedes. Russians suffered badly but crushed the resistance. Finns managed to w/d 2 different times from CC helping their cause. I had traded for a commisar expecting losses and he was at the back to rally troops. Unfortunately for me he wound up executing 2.5 or 3.5 squads before it was over. Low morale on these boys. After the Russians took the big hill they had just enough to throw what was left at the small hill and managed to get into CC in both hexes. One hex Finn's couldn't get them. The last hex the Finn's managed an ambush even though the Russians were concealed and with the down 2 got the Russian squad to hold the hex for the win. Lots of destruction and fun. The SSR on morale and Ammo Shortage really mix it up toward the end of this one. I would recommend it. | ||
| 2014-01-28 | (A) Richard Carter | vs | pete palmer | Russian win | An interesting slog through muddy woods to try to take some hill hexes. It comes down to close quarter fighting! |
