INTRODUCTION:*
This scenario is an introduction to typical tactics used by the Finnish Jaeger Troops. The Jaegers are motorized infantry that are used to counter-attack the worn off enemies, already weakened in battle with the areal troops, sissi ambushes, use of heavy artillery etc. The Jaegers have the Pasi wheeled APCs that allow them to be deployed well behind friendly lines, out of the reach of enemy artillery. From there they can be quickly concentrated into attack to destroy the enemies using the knowledge of Finnish terrain and element of surprise to their advantage.*

ENEMY:*
In this excercise, the "Yellow side" (Finnish OPFOR, blues vs yellows) is represented by Russian Mech Infantry units. The enemy forward battalion is currently in heavy fighting with our delaying troops near Klamila. The battalion seems to be running out of steam and our Jaeger Battalion 101 has been ordered to conduct a counter-attack to destroy the remains of the enemy battalion. The enemy has covered its flank some 1,5 kilometres from the main fighting with a mechanized platoon, that has occupied a dominating hill on the other side of a small river. The platoon has destroyed the bridges and also used mines. They have excellent visibility to the road leading to their position and they have weapons we cannot match at those ranges! Our recce units have also revealed that unlike normally, the flank guard has indirect fire support at its disposal in form of a towed 120mm mortar battery.*

OWN:*
Your Jaeger Company's recce/preparation element has already scouted the attack route and it was clear like the scouts reported. The route your company is to use runs down along a secondary road from the main road leading to the enemy. The recce element found a suitable point in the river where your Pasis can swim across and get on the other side without fear of getting bogged. On the other side of the river there is an excellent spot, safe from the enemy eyes, where you can dismount and deploy for the attack. The enemy has a swampy area in its left flank which seems to be poorly guarded - who would attack from a swamp? - but propably mined. You may use this route to get to the enemy flank! You have the support of Brigade's Heavy Artillery Bn (18 x 152mm) for few fire missions, and priority on using our battalion's Mortar Company (9 x 120mm). Also Bn CO has given you 2 Pst-Ohj 82M (AT-5) teams you can use to destroy the enemy vehicles from afar, if you find them a good position and get there unnoticed.*

MISSION:*
Attack the enemy flank guard, destroy it and defend against any counter-attack attempts. Prepare to support the rest of the company that will attack through your location to the enemy battalion's flank before it can react to our moves!*
