Overview:
The Swedish Volunteer Corps Anti-Tank Gun Company had taken up position along the road leading from Kemijärvi to Märkäjärvi. On the afternoon of the 27th a "Ten-Ton Tank" showed up besides the road at the edge of the woods opposite the Swedish Position. The Swedes carefully took their aim, awaiting its next move. Suddenly the tank stopped, seemingly stuck in the snow. Instead of revealing the location of the anti-tank gun, indirect artillery fire was called in. But the shells fell with no effect. At that moment the stalled tank freed itself, and started moving.Attacker: Russian (122nd Rifle Division)
Defender: Swedish (1. Pansarvärndsplutonen, Pansarvärnskompaniet, II. Stridsgruppen)

| 2025-01-11 | (D) Jobbo Fett | vs | RootinPutin | Russian win | Rootin got far too lucky with his rallies and morale checks! I shake my fist at thee! It's hard to appreciate a scenario when it locks in a lot of pivotal decisions, especially ones that then allow for the attacker to plan around any contingencies. Having an AT gun and your artillery forcibly looking at a bad hex is a hard sell on enjoying the scenario, and its worse when you realize that the AT Guns need to be protected at all cost unless you want to reduce the victory conditions (of 4 squads on/west of hexrow X) by 2 for each destroyed Gun. And that's before any tanks get off-board, further reducing that requirement. Essentially, through bad luck or good planning, you could simply avoid the victory condition entirely, blow up 2 AT guns and viola, game over. Play it once on each side, if you have to, then forget about it. | ||

| 2021-03-17 | (D) Indy Lagu | vs | Rob Oler | Russian win | Rob and I started our Swedish Volunteers adventure with this one... My Swedish setup was a bit far back, and I think that contributed to my loss. As such, I didn't have much to do in my turn but stay in trenches and fire. The Swedes have four squads to cover a board width. I don't think they can have a forward setup and be successful. Sadly, I don't think they can be successful if they set up too far back. I simply don't see anything they can do. I would play this again, as I think there must be something that can be done. I rated this a 7. Rob would give it a 6. Give this a try...it plays quickly and has the Swedes! | ||
| 2021-03-16 | (D) Stephen Stewart | vs | Stef | Swedish win (VASL Log) | This a a fantastic fast playing game with limited resources of each side. In our game we ran through the entire gamut of the rulebook practically. Bog, Mire, Shock, Harassing Fire, Fire land, Leader creation , Hero creation, BH, FIRE Spreading in EC-3DRM, Attacking friendlies in OBA. End game fun. Plays kinda like Dead of Winter but more fun!!! |
