Overview:

The massive Russian attack forced Mannerheim to transfer four divisions and a brigade from East Karelia to the Karelian Isthmus. Mannerheim knew he did not have enough forces, so on 17 June he ordered several divisions to start a fighting withdrawal. The Finns abandoned their positions south of the Svir River on 19 June. The Russians attacked across the Svir on 21 June. Major General Talvella, Commander Aunus Group, ordered the 5th Division and 15th Brigade to hold their positions, and only withdraw to the PSS (Pisi-Saarimaki-Sammatus) Line in the face of overwhelming enemy forces. The Russian 70th Naval Infantry Brigade made a surprise landing behind the PSS Line on 23 June. The 3rd Naval Infantry Brigade subsequently landed to bolster the Russian forces.
Attacker: Russian (3rd Naval Infantry Brigade and 114th Rifle Division)

2025-05-22(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Finnish win2 hrsFun scenario. My Russians managed to take 3 buildings, but I gave the concession on Turn 5. I had lost three close combats to Snake Eyes and my force was too degraded to take another 3 buildings with only a single movement phase left.
