Thanks. The Finns are freshly painted and saw action for the first time in this game. I finished them a few hours before filming. Still need to put some decals on the tanks.
Cool! Quick question: in the first few minutes the exposed Finish squad got hit. Couldn’t it have used a fallback to keep the casualties reduced to just one? (And end up moved backwards and pinned.)
Doh! You're right. They could and should have done that. I was too busy beating myself up for having made that stupid move in the first place, I completely forgot about it. 😅
This is what I am finding with the Soviets. You get lots of cheap troops and a platoon of T26's is five tanks. The problem is that they never get orders. I now mix up the tanks and infantry but the T26 is slow before it hits a snow drift and ski troops are faster so coordination is tough in the winter. Oh and all the early war Soviet tanks are unreliable.
Yeah, I've noticed the same. Not to mention that a cheap unit will lose you as much BR when they die as an expensive one. The two forces started with the same rating before the bonus from the NKVD detachment, so I think the sovjets had a few too many disadvantages even before considering the terrain.
I noticed a squad rolling for cover Vs a sniper but akas the cover did not hold. Doesn't a sniper negate coversaves? I would check but i dont have the rules at hand.
Nice short battle report. 👍 The fins are new, right? They look pretty good. Keep it up, guys!

@@southlandbattles Great job. I have a special fondness for Finns. It's a beautiful country, by the way. ☺️

All targets count as in the open, iirc. So cover saves are sixes.
Thanks
