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.

2021-09-21(A) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist Finnish/Swedish winVery tight scenario. The Russians pushed through on the left flank opening up a path through the woods. In the end, the Swedish leader and three Swedish squads that were huddling in the lumberyard in 19J6, were with HE. The leader battle hardens to a 9-2 and a hero is created. They averted a VBM lockdown by burning a Russian tank with PF and saved the day by breaking the last Russian squad needed for exit on the last turn.

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.
