Overview:
During the final withdrawal of German units from Finland, SS-Gebirgsjager-Regiments 11 and 12 were tasked with holding the Finns at bay. On the road from Tornio and Kemi, the Germans were withdrawing their troops interspersed with equipment-laden mules and carts. Elements of Jaeger Regiment 8 pursued the Germans along the road, while other Finnish units attempted exactly what the Germans feared most – an encirclement that would cut the Germans off from the road to safety.Attacker: Finnish (3rd Battalion, Jaeger Regiment 8)
Defender: German (SS) (SS-Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 11, SS-Gebirgs-Division 6)

| 2023-08-03 | (D) Thomas Lynch | vs | Josh | German (SS) win | An early Finnish push was successful in isolating and capturing an SS squad/Ldr/lmg complicating my fallback defense. The threat of the Flak 1/2track kept the woods road under SS control through turn 3. I was able to repostition it, along with the MMG and other leader to cover the exit hexes. A firelane, Flak FP and a squad were able to lay enough fire and resid to stop a Finnish HS rush to exit. With the last HS breaking in the last hex before exiting, the Finns came up 1 VP short to hand the SS the win. I was sure from mid-game on my SS would not pull it off. Good game. | ||
| 2023-07-01 | (D) Yuqi Xiong | vs | Warf | Finnish win | The Flak halftrack was too weak against IFT, only fired once, it was knocked out by 2 Finn squads adv fire. Should have focused on the frontline, I deployed too many in the rear to intercept Finn reinforcement. Actually Finn supermen moved very aggresively, and their MTR even CH and took away one 658 SS squad! On Turn 3, my little frontal force was wiped out. |
