Overview:

The night before, 13th Infantry Regiment had been reinforced by troops trained in the new anti-tech weaponry. Panzerfausts and Panzerschrecks had breathed new hope into troops who for some time had to contend with a heavily armored foe. Early in the morning a counterattack was supposed to begin a reversal of fortunes. On their right flank, another regiment would advance to straighten the line that IR 13 currently was holding a salient in. On the left flank, 14th Battalion would advance under cover of the woods, to facilitate an attack in the center. The IR 13 attack was meant to start directly after the artillery preparation. But at the end of the artillery's thunder, the Russians didn't stay dug in. They attacked.

2021-09-13(A) Andy Bagley vs Luca Martini Finnish/Swedish winVery close and exciting game. I started well as the Russians and broke through the woods line between the two ponds, though failed to completely clear the Finns from the central woods area. Thereafter things turned against me, and my 8-morale squads repeatedly failed to pass NMCs against low-odds shots. By turn 5 I had only three unbroken squads, and although these (plus an AFV) could probably have exited, it left me one squad short of VC requirements, so I had to concede. A scenario I'd play again though.
2021-09-10(A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs Tuomo Finnish/Swedish win
2021-08-06(D) Andy Beaton vs Eoin Corrigan Finnish/Swedish winEven though I never picked up a panzerschreck without breaking it, my troops managed to whittle down the Russian tanks with PFs and close combat. The end game involved 4.5 Russian squads running a gauntlet of Axis 2-1 shots without breaking up a sweat until the last possible shot led by a Finnish leader who had battle hardened to 9-1 broke a squad and got the Russians below the threshold. A close-fought and excellent scenario.
2021-07-21(D) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler Russian winAn excellent, close scenario. Rob held back two tanks and the HMG to thwart
my backdoor reinforcements.

This one came down to the last movement phase, Rob was able to get exactly
the number of units off that he needed.

I would gladly play this again as either side.
2021-03-27(A) Dave Mareske vs Rick Reinesch Russian winRound two of March Madness saw the Finns break several SWs, but get one PF shot on the big Russian AFV. A couple of good hits from the other tanks kept the other Axis units broken or dead allowing the Russians to exit off board. Great game playing Rick!
