Overview:
With their victories in the north, Finnish reinforcements were dispatched to the Kuhmo sector to seal the fate of the Soviet’s 54th Rifle Division, whose own advance had stalled in the frozen marshland. To counter, Russia’s only trained ski troops, the 2nd Soviet Ski Brigade did a wide flanking maneuver in hopes of breaking the Finnish grip on the beleaguered infantry division. But, some ten miles inside Finland while crossing open ground, they were sighted by Finnish scouts around noon. Their shots brought the 9th Sissi Company.Attacker: Finnish (9th Sissi Company)
Defender: Russian (2nd Soviet Ski Brigade)

| 2022-04-22 | (A) Richard Jenulis | vs | Tim Brieaddy | Finnish win | Bitter Ender 2022 - open play - play-test This is a play-test for George Bates update of the old Avalon Hill scenario. George did a fantastic amount of research and made some very good updates to this classic. The setup lis laborious and takes almost as long as the scenario play time. But the scenario is a lot of fun. The Russian have to decide which VC they will go for and the Finns need to guess right. In this playing, the Russians went for the exit victory and the Finns anticipated it correctly. Still a very close game and the first time I've ever seen a Human Wave on skies. | ||
| 2021-12-12 | (A) Rob MacGinley | vs | Ian Willey | Russian win | Really a case of who rolls lower contest - some snow stuff but low rolls win! NOT a lot of tactics | ||
| 2020-02-14 | (A) Shane Pask | vs | Finnish win | Russian tactic was to just sprint for the board 34 woods and either get off the board or engage the Finns at close range.Finns tried to stay outside Russian squad range and wear them down. However for the first five turns Finns could not roll under 10 and long range LMG fire directed by SMC was affecting the Finns. A dim light of hope turned on when a lucky sniper shot killed the 10-2. Finns were then able to capture a couple of squads and encircle a couple more to squeeze out a win with 12VP advantage (6VP of prisoners). | |||
| 2019-01-11 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | Finnish win | Very unique scenario. My Finns got lucky and were able to put down enough fire lanes to get the necessary CVP for the win. | ||
