Tournament

[Herr Straße Laufer]

I do think that Erik and I have similar skill sets.

He played very well and gave me fits until I got the best out of the ski troopers. The Finns shot well and disrupted a lot of the Soviets each turn.
I love Finn ski troops. With their mobility and their full strength I was able to disrupt, pile up, and overrun a couple of hexes where there was massed Soviet infantry that did not recover morale. I'm not a big fan of EA but I think it helped in the overruns.
This happened all before the bulk of the Soviet armor was able to get to the front. At that point the Finns had their AT guns to the front and were able to engage against them without a lot more Soviet infantry fire to support their armor.

I've played Erik numerous times in the past and knew he was doing the best he could with what he was given.

I agree that we all should wait to see how the tourney balances out. But, to me, the culprit might be the 'green' Soviet infantry.
