Battle location:  Lohiniva, Lapland*
*
Battle Type: Finland defend vs. Russia assault*
*
Design by:  Zipuli*

BACKGROUND:*
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. Not giving the quarter the Finnish Lapland is soon transformed into a battlefield, once again. The Russians, with their arctic trained brigades on point has reached area of Lohiniva, with a strategically important bridge to take. Finns have deployed a Torjuntakomppania (Defensive Inf Coy) there to hold the bridge, and also sent a Mechanized Battlegroup to fend off the attackers. When the Russian spearhead arrives, all hell breaks loose with both sides doing their best to control the bridge.*
*
ENEMY:*
The Russians have the 200th Motor Rifle Brigade pushing to Lohiniva with one battalion and strong air support on point. Their indirect fire support is limited as the rest of the brigade is catching up after heavy fighting.*
*
OWN:*
We got a Infantry Company in defence around the bridge, in entrenched positions, though the pioneers did not make it to build obstacles for them - the pioneers were cought in an airstrike. The Company will most likely be able to hold the Bridge against the enemies for some time, but not for long.*
*
Our Mech BG is moving north to counter the enemy. With the first tank company, reinforced with a pzjaeger platoon and combat pioneer detachment, you are to attack the russian flank and ruin any attempt to take and hold the bridge. You got support of the BG's armoured recce platoon, mortar company and one PzHowitzer battery. They will all arrive in the battle area in about 30 minutes.*

MISSION:*
Destroy the attacking enemy and hold the bridge at all cost!*
