Weapon in Hand*
*
Date: August 9, 1985*
*
Battle Location: Savukoski, Lappland, Finland*
*
Battle Type: Finland raid vs USSR delay*
*
Description: WW3 has begun in Europe.*
*
Soviet forces have flooded into Finland expecting to face no resistance but having been forced to fight every step of the way. Heavy fighting has been raging on virtually every axis of advance, but the Soviet forces are still making progress.*
*
Operating in the enemy rear are a number of Finnish special force units. Their mission is to wreck havoc with the enemy supply lines.*
*
Having identified the location of an enemy headquarters and supply unit in the vicinity of Savukoski village one Sissi company set about to infiltrate the enemy and greet them with weapon in hand.*
*
One Sissi platoon has established itself east of the village to block any forces trying to retreat from, or reinforce the village once the attack goes in.*
*
Scouting has revealed that there is also a battery of Soviet heavy guns in the village. Destroying theses would be a welcome bonus.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Finnish side. Victory Hexes are not important in this scenario, they provide relatively few points – however killing enemy 
ammo, truck and artillery units along with the enemy HQ will win you the scenario.*
