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.

Two intact T-34 tanks fell into Finnish hands in and around the power plant, and Col. Ruben Lagus ordered them immediately manned and put at the spearhead of a renewed Finnish advance to clear the Svir. The Finns named their new vehicles "Sotka," the Finnish name for a duck who lays her eggs on other birds' nests and is very prominent in the Kalevala for her iron offspring. Lagus hoped the tough NKVD border troops holding the railroad bridge at Latva over the Svir would likewise mistake the T-34's for their own tanks. An NKVD armored train had defied all Finnish attacks, but surely it could not resist the Red Army's own secret weapon.
