05 DECEMBER 1939, KUHMO - HUKKAJARVI ROAD, LADOGA KARELIA:
Commander. Although managed to capture the crossroads and town of Kuhmo, enemy is loosing momentum. Their logistical links are too stretched along the only road between Kuhmo and Repola. Corps command ordered quick raids on the enemy columns to further harass their movement. One of our planes spotted a large enemy concentration on the road leading Kuhmo. It looks the column is out of gasoline and waiting for relief. We can't miss this opportunity. Your cavalry unit and a Sissi platoon are the fastest units that can reach the area in time. Proceed to the area and attack the column. Hit hard and destroy as much as you can. But be careful about the strong Russian reaction since that sector is their backyard and you are attacking into a road used by two Rifle Divisions. Good Luck Commander. Dismissed.

An enjoyable scenario since both the Finns and the Soviets get a chance at both attacking and defending. That being said, it seemed that the Finns had a distinct advantage as far as play balance. Immobilized Soviet armored cars provided some early and easy VPs for the Finns.
