5 Km north of Vyborg, Karelian Isthmus (Best played against human opponent): Although the finns were eager to reclaim territory lost to the Soviets during the infamous Winter War, they were somewhat reluctant to jump headlong into the fury of Barbarossa. At the end of July they finally struck down the Karelian Isthmus and in a few weeks they managed to push through the woods, lakes, and marshes to within 30 kilometers of the northern defenses of Leningrad. One of the main objectives of this campaign was retaking the port city of Vyborg (Viipuri), formally the second-largest cityin Finland. On this date the Finnish 4th Infantry Division (IV Corps) attacked the central Soviet perimeter protecting the city, consisting of the confused and ill-prepared elements of the Soviet 43rd Rifle Division, of the 50th Corps.

Tough scenario for the Finnish troops. The Russians hold the line and the high ground. Couple that with good Russian artillery assets, the Finnish troops were not strong enough to break the center of the line and get to the lone exit hex in the time allotted.
