Overview:

After being stopped at Viipuri, the Soviets were pushing to break through the Finnish lines to the east of the city. At midnight on 29 June, Soviet tanks broke through the infantry lines held by Infantry Regiment 50. Major Mikkola, commander of the Armored Brigade's 1st Battalion, had to muster whatever armored resources were available for a counterattack, this time including a massive ISU-152 captured only four days earlier. A platoon of IR 50 was to assist the attack. The attack got under way at 0330, aimed at first taking out the two Soviet T-34s reported to be dug in "around the corner".

2023-01-20(A) Raymond Woloszyn vs James Lancaster Russian winClose game as designed but again the Russians prevail. Took a miracle to charge four Finnish tanks ready to exit, each which had a -2 acquisition on my T-34/85. All my infantry was dead at little cost to the Finns but did immobilize "Father Sunshine" and destroy a Sotka. The advance to try to kill one more tank succeeded after many misses and bounces but it took an intensive fire shot to kill the Sturmi in bounding fire. Tough for both sides. Finnish balance perhaps needed given the ROAR record.
2021-04-17(A) David Garvin vs Zebulon Tingley Russian winI had a chance, I really did. I had 2 squads and a 9-1 leader ready to enter CC with one of his tanks. One of his good ones. I pop that tank, I win the game, I think.
First PAATC: 12. UGh. But the other squad goes in with the 9-1. CCV of 5, +1 (SMC) and DRM -1. Roll? 12. Random Selection? Yahtzee. Wound Severity? KIA. The return fire was sufficient to eliminate the remaining HS.
Such is ASL!
2020-08-04(D) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske Russian winGreat scenario. Russians killed five tanks but lost two and two exited. Finns got into close combat with the last Russian tank in the last turn. Needed to roll a 4 for the win. Rolled an 8. always fun to play Dave at a close match.
