Overview:
During December, the commander of the Finnish II corps, Lt. General Öhquist, had made several propositions to the Finnish High Command about a general counterattack. Mannerheim didn't approve them until December 19th, when it became clear that the Finnish defenders had repelled the first Soviet attempts to break the Finnish main defense line. The Finns were aware that the Red Army was concentrating more forces between Summa and Muolaanjärvi (Lake Muolaa), so the possible benefits of a successful counterattack were better than before. The plan was to make two attacks on the flanks, the 6th Division on the right near Summa, and the 1st Division on the left near Lake Muolaa. The 1st Division was to attack with the main force along the railway until the first objective was reached. After that the division would prepare an advance to the southwest and secure positions against enemy forces from the south and southeast.Attacker: Finnish (8th Company, 3rd Battalion, JR 14, 1st Division)
Defender: Russian (24th Infantry Division)

| 2024-12-07 | (A) Jobbo Fett | vs | Jobbo_Fett | Russian win | A dated scenario setup where the Russians have the CVP advantage and the Finns have to try and kill units and/or get them far enough on the Russian side (or exited through there altogether). Unfortunately, the Finns don't start in a position to be able to shoot at a forward Russian defense, and they don't have an advantage in manpower - compared to the Russians having a number of Artillery Guns, Armored Cars, and Machine Guns of various types. The Finns put up a good fight, all things told, with some heavy lifting done by the ATR and some lucky shots giving K/ results. Despite a concerted push on the bottom/right side of the boards, it wasn't enough to push into point-scoring territory, and the Finns fell short of victory by only a few CVP. Hard to recommend this one, I'm not a fan of meeting engagements where you're incentivized to run away and hide once you have the CVP advantage. |
