2021-07-21(D) davide galloni vs Raffaele Russian win
2018-02-26(A) nathan wegener vs James Treu Finnish winPlayed original VC. Made it close was gonna pull a human wave to get the 4th building but foiled by adjacent units. Better options for short scenarios but ASL is still ASL...
2012-08-16(D) Steve Bowen vs DD Russian winOriginal design of this scenario had the Finns strong on the defense. The attacking Russians get three buildings easy but must seize a fourth from the tenacious Finnish defenders.

But errata on the HoB website changes the VCs so that the Reds now only need the 3 original buildings to win. This completely flips the whole concept of the scenario. Now a few Finnish Halfsquads are forced to go on the offense and try to seize a building back from the Russians who have nearly three times the firepower.
The original scenario was highly unbalanced in favor of the Finns. But a ham-handed attempt to balance it through errata unbalanced it even worse in the other direction.
Avoid this one.
