Overview:

The Germans were not only fighting the Soviet offensive in the north of Finland, but their units in the south now had to fight their way past Finnish units attempting to cut off their routes to the north. The last German unit to make its way north was Bataillon 3, Infanterie-Regiment 12 of SS-Gebirgs-Division 6 "Nord". On 28 October, it started the last leg of its march to Muonio when, at dusk, it was halted just outside of town by units of the Finnish 11th Infantry Division, which occupied a commanding hill astride the road. With night falling, the Gebirgsjagers hastily planned the attack against their former brothers-in-arms.

2023-03-08(A) Douglas Leslie vs Marc Hanna German (SS) winThe SS prioritised clearing the road with their first group and entered from the east edge with the artillery observer. Early turns saw them lose two leaders and sustain a wounded observer but thereafter the Finns struggled to inflict any damage on the attackers. The VP cap was never an issue and the SS firepower overwhelmed the defenders on the hill. The Finns managed to take the game to the final CC phase when a squad in a foxhole on the hill overlooking the road survived massive firepower attacks before succumbing in close combat to give the Germans the win. Marc didn't realise that his dummies could have set up in foxholes at the start of the game and the German cause was assister greatly when the NVR reduced to one in the first turn and never increased for the rest of the game.
2021-10-23(D) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske German (SS) win
2021-10-23(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German (SS) winSteady progress against the Finns and wore them down. The NVR kept getting better (?) each turn, ending with an NVR of 6, almost daylight. A leader on both sides were killed by sniper attacks, Germans losing their radio operator and the Finns their 10-1. With the entry of the Germans over the first three turns, all three groups converged on the center of board two about the same time. The Finns had trouble passing MCs and the Germans had 2-3 kill stacks that made holding their ground tough. Came down to the last turn though, which the Germans needed to win several (fairly easy) CCs.
2021-06-05(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs Finnish win
2021-02-02(D) James Rimmer vs Jean-Francois Fortin German (SS) winA fun way to learn and expore night rules but don't expect an easy victory if you are the Finns.
