Overview:

After a week of forceful probes and measured attacks, General Timoshenko’s major offensive against the Mannerheim Line was finally ready. The 123rd Division and 35th Tank Brigade were to spearhead the offensive, having undergone intensive training behind the lines. After a massive two-hour artillery bombardment, the Russian forces plunged headlong into the Finnish positions.

2026-03-06(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Russian win2.5 hrsTough game for the Finns. My Russians suffered some hard hits moving to contact with the Finnish trench line. 6 squads broken or KIA's by Turn 2. My OBA smoke blocked up the center pillbox and my boys managed to into the trenches and slowly overwhelmed the Finns with a couple good close combat wins, including an exchange which killed both sides. My armor was able to break part of the trench line with direct fire and they move to the exit.
