The Winter War, waged between Finland and the Soviet Union is a fascinating struggle, a 'David vs Goliath' if there ever was one. This fight, which was staged along a road in central Finland, resulted in a tremendous victory for the outnumbered Finns.
I have no Action Report, but here are three photos following the game.
This is taken at the head of the column, belonging to the 44th Soviet Division. The Finns (top photo), have already wiped out several tanks and Armored Cars, along with a full Platoon of Soviet troops...
At the middle of the column, the Finns took out more tanks (T26s) and AC, while destroying three Platoons of Soviet infantry and the Company HQ (all that is left is the command car, left of center on road)...
At the tail of the column, the story was the same, although Soviet resistance here was more spirited than elsewhere. More destroyed T26s, and AC, with numerous prisoners (top left) heading off into the woods and captivity...
During the 'battle'. the Finns lost a total of 18 figures. Soviet losses amounted to 125 KIA; 12 POWs; 7 T26s destroyed and one captured); 2 Light AC destroyed and 4 captured; and 3 Heavy AC destroyed, and two captured. All and all, it illustrated quite well how this fight turned out!
