Overview:

The Finns, seeking restitution for the Winter War of 1939, had erupted across the borders and breached the Soviet Karelian front even as the crisis to the south of Leningrad came. In a desperate attempt to salvage something and form a new defense line along the Sestra River, orders went out to break off and retreat southward. One such unit was the 131st Border Battalion, which was to serve as a rearguard. At 1530, orders arrived releasing them to save themselves. . .if they could. Behind them a bakery was on fire, the town hall was ablaze, and ammunition was dwindling. Nevertheless, their young officers organized a fighting withdrawal towards the hills in an attempt to reach newly established lines.

2021-01-20(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon Russian winA slow start by me, the Finn, against a pretty good defensive layout by Loic. He's new to ASL and I failed to find a way to crack his defensive layout. He sacrificed a squad or two in the first few turns that ended up being enough to slow me down.
Winds picked up to heavy winds which caused the blazes to spread; however, the lack of smoke ended up helping him and hindering me.
Great win on his part!
2020-12-03(D) Scott Fischbein vs Richard Matheson Russian winRichard's first full ASL game. He's coming along fast - having progressed through the SKs in a month or so, and now making the leap to the full game. The Finnish supermen made good progress early on, but missed a few opportunities to push ahead further, and didn't quite have the MFs left to get off the board in the last two turns, while the Russians had a few squads that could make it off (especially after the wind shifted in turn 5, clearing out the smoke that was laying in their path). Fun game- looking forward to lots more as Richard continues to hone his skills.
