Another resounding success!

We secured all objectives and won great glory for the motherland!

Our losses were 41 men, while 285 imperialists and one AA MG were destroyed.

The paratroops were definately the heroes of the day. No sooner had they hunkered down in the railroad crossing, before a company of Polish infantry crashed into them. They kept up a brisk rifle and DP fire, with supporting fire from the marines, and sent the Poles scurrying in despair.

In the north, the engineers and mountaineers tangled with what is estimated to be about one platoon of Poles, and some recon units. They took fairly heavy losses, due to the dense woods, but prevailed in the end, and swept the remaining objectives after the enemy had broken.

Glory to the workers and peasants!


With Poland destroyed and split between the illustrious USSR and the fascist Germans, it is time to set our sights north, on Finland.


Our forces have performed well, but the Finn's will be a much harder proposition. To bolster the firepower of our forces, a machine gun section, consisting of two Maxim gun sections (2 guns each) has been added. While these may find themselves hard pressed to keep up with the infantry advance, they will be invaluable for defensive battles.


Our first mission is to push through a border garrison, clear any obstacles and secure two objectives. The battlefield is mostly lakes and bridges, with plenty of open terrain. Three platoons will attack head on, while the marines and snipers will provide supporting fire.
The scout sections will be sent on a flanking movement around the northern flank, to harass and pin enemy movements.
