Col Pajari, CO of the 16th Infantry Regiment, had begun his double pincher movement north of the lake and over the southern part of the lake. But the Russians had begun their own flanking maneuver to the north and checked the advance to the south. Pajari than decided on a bold frontal attack over the ice of the frozen lake instead.Attacker: Finnish (16th Infantry Regiment)

| 2024-09-30 | (D) Jobbo Fett | vs | JobboFett | Russian win | A very fun scenario with a tighter-than expected finish, aggressive movements, and devastating dice rolls. The Finns must attempt to run across open ground, and mine were immediately set back by a pair of breaks thanks to poor MCs, which would continue for the majority of the scenario. The Finnish mortar broke immediately and was never repaired, eventually being abandoned to try for the objective. I ignored skies in my playthrough as I thought it would do more harm than good, but that turned out to be false. Although I did make it to the road, an extra turn would not have been missed by the Finns! The Russians need to be patient, and a little bit lucky, and try to pluck at any unlucky Finns that take a chance when moving. Ultimately, my game came down to the tank rolling incredibly well 3 times in a row, blasting the only avenue of approach the Finns could take to try and secure a victory. Fun stuff, surprised it hasn't been played/recorded more often! |
