20 August 1808 - Historical - Intended to be played Head to Head or Solo as the Allied player vs. the AI (see RSW-Solo.pdf for Solo play victory levels) - Following the successes of Klingspor's forces along the coast, the Russian sought to limit their advance. Bibikov had replaced Shepelev (supposedly ill but probably removed by Buxhowden for failure to accomplish his mission) and was ordered to halt the Swedish-Finnish forces. He made a counterattack near Omossa and caused the enemy to fall back to the north. This small action of two hours depicts the short action which saw both sides engaged in tense hand to hand engagements.
