Arctic Front: Bitter Kuuterselka

[Crossroads]

Thanks for your thorough analysis - appreciated!

Your feedback confirms my concerns of the exit hex at 0,47. But I can't really remove it as that is the key road that led to the collapse of the whole VT line, as basically you repeated the historical end result here. Of course, for scenario balance this is not acceptable. My idea is to give both sides a 50/50 shot for keeping the door there shut / having it forced open.

We'd need to find another solution... Maybe reinforcements from the Cavalry Bde who are responsible of the neighboring sector? Two companies, with a couple of ATGs and mortar units for back up?

I could also provide the scenario with the new upgraded Stu-40s now available in LWM/EF:FB 1.3, with coy leaders in Stu-40s as well. That should provide the Finnish armour with a bit more punch.

III / 53rd Inf Rgt being fixed. Yes, that is a fair comment. However they were manning the VT line in their sector, and could hardly leave it undefended. I could perhaps have 50% of them available to this sector, with the rest remaining there to leave a skeleton force to guard the line. Good call!

As for artillery, that's what was available... Maybe a bit better supply level? It is down to 70% at the moment, I could upgrade it to 75%. These units were really not that badly supplied, it was the artillery that lacked shells. Pity artillery does not have a separate supply factor, as we only have the one general supply for everything.

Let's see what others have to report as well!

If you all could again be kind enough to wait a bit so I upgrade the scenario, then I will upload it and it will be possible to register results.
