While the location of the scenario is already available from Fury At Viborg Bay scenario and map, this particular battle is on hold. Actually, at the moment I don't have a plan to do this at all... But who knows, at some stage perhaps?

This scenario draws inspiration from Avalanche Press' Panzer Grenadier board game and its' Arctic Front book:

Although paying tribute by using original Arctic Front scenario names, all scenarios are of new and original design. Maps are painstakingly created anew by using Google Earth with support from historic maps. All battles and units involved in them are researched and recreated, and the consequent OOBs, unit entry positions, victory levels etc are designed anew by us.

Panssari Salama

Panzerblitz -> Tank Lightning -> Panssari Salama. Yes, it sounds as silly in Finnish as the English translation would suggest, made worse by the fact it should be written as one word, nor do we use capital letters in topics or headlines. End result: Über Kool!

The well-prepared assault of the Soviet XXX Guards Rifle Corps shredded the Finnish 18th Division's fortified positions. Finnish battalions reeled back many kilometers from the front as Soviet tanks and infantry came after them. At the Portinhoikka crossroads a small force of engineers and assault guns met the advancing Soviets and stopped their penetration, but could not regain the vital crossroads.
