Overview:

As part of the general attack aimed at the Karelian capital of Petrozavodsk, the Finnish 11th Division was ordered to take the village of Prääzä, an important road junction over which the two sides had been fighting for a while. The division devised a three-pronged attack: Infantry Regiment 50 would outflank the Soviets from the north while Infantry Regiment 8 was sent on a southern route. Meanwhile, to keep the Soviets busy while both flanking units got into position, Infantry Regiment 20 would attack Prääzä along the road from the west. On 7 September the attack of Infantry Regiment 29 stalled in the front of the forested ridge of Niiniselkä, which the Soviets had fortified with pillboxes, trenches, and prepared fire zones. A second attack was planned for 8 September. This time, plentiful mortar support was available, including a smoke mortar platoon from the Corps reserve.
Attacker: Finnish (2nd Battalion, Infantry Regiment 29)

2022-10-07(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Russian win
2022-10-07(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Russian winUse Finnish balance. Fins pushed in quickly with OBA helping tremendously. Flames, Blazes spread over lower portions of the hill steadily every turn making things interesting. Fins did well and took a few Prisoners which eventually turned on the Guards causing headaches at the end game. All came down to last Pillbox, but Fins could not eliminate units outside in time to also attack & occupy the Pillbox in last turn.
2021-02-20(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Finnish win
2021-02-20(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Finnish winAs the Finns, I made some poor early moves and suffered accordingly, but then my ARTY managed to fix Dan's Russians in place as I moved from one end to the other to take out the pill boxes. I managed to secure the final pill box in my Turn 8 Close Combat. Dan's final counter-attack to retake a pill box failed and the Finns had the win.
2020-11-11(D) Rami Saarinen vs TT Russian winRussian setup was poor and defense too weak for the first half of the scenario. Managed to pull it off by sleazing my way to defend the last pillbox. A loooong and rule-check intensive play made better by VASL and 2 - 3 hour sessions. Pillboxes can be difficult. Defense is quite boring at first but the last few turns were fun for Russians too.
