Arctic Front: Delaying Action At Ylimaa

[Crossroads]

Thanks a ton! I got Huib's initial thoughts on this on email albeit he and Ashcloud are not finished yet. I think this one needs work, we are very close and we'll make a scenario out of it!

The scenario, as-is, is pretty much the reality of Lapland War. No advantage in strength, and heavies e.g. heavy arty not able to follow up due to destroyed road network.

Here's a list of changes implemented per your comments:

Strengthened the Finns a bit:
- Mortars, the poor man's arty. Added 2 x 120 mm platoons
- Upgraded the T-34 platoons from SP2 to SP3.
- Added a T-26 recon section too.
- Added a few half squads here and there to infantry platoons.

Weakened the Germans just a tad:
- Removed a couple of MG units
- Removed one arty battery, and one of their rocket arty batteries too.

Other changes:
- A bit larger map for added options: stretching +4 hexes more to East
- Reconsidered the objective values. More valuable objectives, stretching the Germans a bit.
- Reconsidered supply: Axis 70 to reflect their strict orders, 75 for Finns.
- Less smoke for Germans. 2 x air for both.

THE REVISED VERSION IS NOW UPLOADED INTO SCENARIO DB - THANKS EVERYONE!
