Battle location:  East Finland*

Battle Type: Finland advance vs. Russia*

Design by:  Zipuli*

BACKGROUND:*
This scenario is an introduction to the new Jaeger Brigade 2005 -units. In this scenario, an enemy has launched a "strategic strike" against Finland to force the country to submit to its will. This kind of strike is similar to that seen in Georgia 2008, with peace time readiness units launching a lightning strike. In this case the Finns are not fully mobilized, but the Readines Brigade of Kainuu is ready and will be used to stop the enemy advance.*
*
ENEMY:*
The Russians have the 138th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade pushing to west along the main routes in the area. They have met resistance from our areal and border guard units, but have managed to keep up the advance. The brigade's foremost unit has been pushing fast and is now being resupplied with ammunition, before securing a river crossing and pushing into our rear. They have limited air and artillery support thanks to the long supplyroute and our Hornets and AA doing their best to deny enemy air units free movement.*
*
OWN:*
A small local unit has taken positions near the bridge so crucial to the enemy advance. They are not going to hold if the enemy continues the attack, but should keep any recon forces at bay. Our Battalion (JP1/Kainuu Jaeger Brigade) is on the move to the area, with recon already inserted to observe the enemy attack route and ATGM platoon closing with the enemy. We have 2 Jaeger Companies to accomplish the mission, 3rd is creating a diversion further east to draw any enemy reserves that way. Other units available are a pioneer platoon, SAM platoon, SP Mortar Company, Brigade's Artillery Battalion and MLRS platoon. The terrain is very good for our boys, restricting the enemy tanks' movement and ability to use their main guns to long ranges. The weather is rainy.*

MISSION:*
With forces on point cut the enemy advance route at the eastern bridge and keep possible reserves at bay. With the second echelon destroy the enemy units along the attack route and prepare to continue the attack further east. Show them that flesh can beat steel!*
