Overview:

The first two weeks of front service had passed without any major incidences for the Swedish Volunteer Corps. Both sides tried to find weaknesses in the opposite line of defense. On the very day Lieutenant Colonel Viking Tamm took a section of the 2nd Rifle Company to conduct the final scouting of an area targeted for attack by the Swedes, the Russians surprised by attacking 2nd Rifle Company's now weakened front line. The attack was initiated by a Russian Scouting patrol that bumped into the engineers from the 2nd Plow Platoon, who were, under the supervision of Corporal Alm, laying wire on the moor. When the shooting started, Russians started pouring out into the field.

2023-05-20(A) Shane Pask vs Russian winFairly easy win for the Russians. Made sure I used the guaranteed first fire mission - missed my target but still broke (and disrupted 2/3) of the Wire laying party. Turn 4 could have been my downfall with 8 squads managing only 1 pin result versus an encircled squad but Swedish return fire was also largely ineffective. Final tally 12 VP for the Russians.

2022-12-09(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Swedish winGood grief, I don't enjoy this "let's slog across the open ground" scenarios...oh and with deep snow...so that unless you move every turn...you probably won't be able to win the game as the Russians. Dan's hot dice tore me apart as I tried to cross the open ground. Swedish Sniper killed 8-1 and my squad with the HMG snaked it and then disrupted in the heat of battle of roll (I truly hate that Heat of Battle Baloney). I would have two squad disrupt after rolling snakes. After second squad disrupted, I gave the concession and Dan had the win. Won't ever see this scenario again.
