RE: Scenario of the Month - Jan 2011: **Bitter Kuuterselka
Finally finished. Fun scenario. Got new sound mods in at the end, which made it even more enjoyable.
I rated it well-balanced, although I got a major V as the Finns. My reasoning was that I believe my opponent got too bogged down in spots that should have been bypassed. Had he not done so, I think the score would have been way different.
Soviets should prepare for a brutal opening. The Finn's line, especially with extreme assault, is murder to crack. It goes eventually, but in my game, reinforcements were arriving to halt effective advance in the northeast.
Soviet focus in the south might be the best play for them, using enough force in the northeast to keep the Finns from driving all the way south to reinforce.
My opponent reached the southwestern exits with two tanks on the second to last turn, only to find my Finns dug in and waiting. Everything else had been stopped. His focus on the two western most objectives came two hexes short, his infanty there badly hurt and disrupted.
It will be interesting to see how well balanced the scenario really is as more results come in. Was my game a fluke?
