Overview:
At the end of August, the Finns had liberated the last of the territory taken by the Russians at the conclusion of the Winter War. In his Order of the Day for 3 September, Field Marshal Mannerheim told his armies: "The Frontier has been reached. The fight goes on." The Finnish offensive in Ladogakarelia began on the night of 4 September. By the middle of September, the Army of Karelia had possession of the entire length of the Svir River northeast of Leningrad and was developing a concentric attack on Petrozavodsk, the capital of Eastern Karelia. The Finnish 1st Jaeger Brigade approached Petrozavodsk from the south along the Murmansh Railroad, while the Finnish 1st Division pressed in from the northwest. Units of the Russian Petrozavodsk Operational Group resisted fiercely.Attacker: Finnish (1st Jäger Regiment and Finnish 1st Division)
Defender: Russian (10th Reserve Rifle Regiment and 2nd Tank Regiment)

| 2024-10-14 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | Russian win | The Finns had trouble passing NMCs which slowed their progress. The FT tank got immobilized facing the wrong way. Called it in favor of the Russians at Turn 5. | ||
| 2024-10-04 | (D) Eben Johnson | vs | Will Willow | Russian win | I played the Russians, and while I broke most of my equipment---in one session, 16% of my 58 rolls were 11s or 12s---I also had a few good rolls too (e.g., my MMG wrecked his flamethrower tank), and I was able to wear down the Finns. Not helping the Finns, either, was a string of bad rally attempts. I suspect one needed Finnish tactic is to keep the forces spread so as to react quickly to the Russian reinforcements---easier said than done because too little defense means the Russians might retake VCs. Cheers, | ||
| 2024-05-19 | (D) Herve Duval | vs | Jean Lasnier | Finnish win | ASL Ring 2024. Great scenario. Played for 8 hours before I conceded. Russian Flame Thrower never ran out of fire, which did not help my Russians. Also my best leader got killed by a sniper in the 4th victory building as the Finns were approaching, | ||
| 2024-02-02 | (A) David Ramsey | vs | Martin Barker | Russian win | Great scenario where I pushed for the 4 single point buildings and couldn't beat off the counter attack from the stronger reinforcement group. Feels tough for the Russians but their flexible reinforcement positioning helps mitigate against the Finns. | ||
| 2024-01-18 | (D) Douglas Leslie | vs | Marc Hanna | Russian win (VASL Log) | I took the Russians against Marc Hanna in this excellent scenario from Journal 13. There is a lot of ebb and flow here as the Russians face a really powerful Finnish force at the start but have strong reinforcements arriving on turns 3 and 5 which can put the Finns onto the defensive. Luck was with me on this occasion as both Finnish AFVs succumbed to critical hits from the deadliest Russian tankers in Karelia and this proved to be too much for Marc to overcome. Great fun to play and there is more detailed analysis by both players on Marc's YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@marchanna |
