Overview:

With the invasion, two reinforced Soviet divisions crossed the border in the north with orders to cut Finland in half by seizing Oulu, 150 miles to the west. But the Russian 163rd Rifle Division was soon trapped at Suomussalmi. And so, a third Soviet division was committed, pushing westward into the snow-clad forests. To halt the slow-moving column of the 44th Rifle Division, General Siilasvuo dispatched the Finnish 27th Infantry Regiment to block the Oulo Highway. The obvious spot was at the mile-wide isthmus between lakes Kuiwas and Kuomas, some six miles west of the village of Raate. On 8 December, these Finns repulsed the Soviet recon troops. The next day, the rest of the Soviet 44th Division drew up behind the stalled point. On the 13th, after several days of desultory bombardment, the Russians launched their first coordinated assault.

2022-05-08(A) Richard Jenulis vs Brent Morris Finnish winA last turn nail bitter. The Russians had exactly what was needed to exit and win and the Finns rallied a DM crew on the board edge. Finished with 13 exit points.
2019-07-10(A) Shane Pask vs Russian winSplit my Russians into two groups: all tanks and 4-5-8s with DC on the plowed road, everyone else (including all leaders which was a mistake) coming down the other road on board 32. I managed to eventually clear the roadblock on the plowed road with a set demo charge to let 2 tanks through. The other two had already set off through the woods - bogged, mired then freed. Two tanks made it off the board by turn 9, and my infantry flooded through the next turn for a win.
2018-06-16(A) Miikka Sohlman vs Niko Pyyhtinen Russian win
