*
Battle location:  Lansi-Satama, Helsinki*
*
Battle Type: Finland advance vs. Russia*

Design by:  Zipuli*

BACKGROUND:*
The time between peace and war is sometimes called the "Gray Phase".* 
*
With the "gas war" raging in the area around the Baltic Sea, Finland is one of the countries pressed hard to allow troop movements in its area. With the politicians trying their all to save the peace, military has already prepared the troops used to counter a strategical strike. Hostile activities have increased in Finland, but with no evidence against Russia. Reports of strange small units in either civilian clothes or unmarked camo outfits carrying weapons have been heard from around the southern Finland, and many people, especially those in high places in Finnish society or military have gone missing, presumably dead.*

During this night, a number of foreign ships were observed heading to Helsinki. They did not answer to any radio calls from the Coast Guard, and a Navy Boarding team was alerted. The Team, transported with a Navy vessel, closed in with the ships few hours ago to inspect the ships. When boarding the first ship, the team came under heavy small arms fire from all the ships, and were forced to withdraw suffering casualties. The Navy Vessel, a Hamina class missile fast attack craft "FNS Pori" returned fire and was able to disable two of the hostile ships, but received multiple hits from the other ships, propably AT weapon fire, and was forced to withdraw. The remaining three ships speeded to Lansi-Satama harbour in Helsinki, before additional Navy vessels were able to intercept them. The crews of the ships, special forces of some sort, quickly overran the MP units that were alerted to the scene.*
*
ENEMY:*
The enemy force has taken hold of Lansi-Satama. Though their mission is clearly compromized and failed, they need to be taken care of immedieately to prevent the situation from getting out of hand. The MP units that were forced to retreat reported number of light armoured vehicles and well armed troops, number unknown. The third ship that reached the harbour was propably badly damaged in the firefight with FNS Pori, and sank after being evacuated. The two others have some kind of HMGs operational.*
*
OWN:*
Southern Finland's military provincial HQ has reacted quickly by forming Group Tanninen. The group consists of an MP unit, an Urban Jaeger Company, currently on the move from Santahamina to Lansi-Satama, and one Coastal Jaeger Company (-) alerted from Upinniemi. The first light recon units have reached the area and are proceeding to locate the enemy forces. In a short while the bulk of the attack team will move into position to take on the enemy. Tanninen will also receive heavy mortar support from a conscript platoon that was training in Central Rail Station vicinity and on the move to the scene. A team of the Coastal Jaeger company will arrive using Jurmo speed boats, able to storm the enemy rear. The Coast Guard and Navy have closed the sea routes and the enemy has no way to retreat - it must stand and fight!*
*
PLAN:*
The Lansi-Satama surroundings are scouted with the light troops and MP units in the area. A coordinated and decisive attack with the coastal and urban units is launched to regain control of the harbour, and to identify the hostile forces and their plans.*
*
MISSION:*
Storm Lansi-Satama, take control of the area, destroy all hostile forces in the area and prepare to evacuate any possible civilians in the area in cooperation with local police forces and Karhu Team. Keep friendly casualties down.*
