Special operations of the Red Army (long campaign)

[runequester]

(these company level games on a tiny map are moving pretty quick, though I'll increase the mapsize to 30x30 for a bit more maneuver room)

The mission was a success. The Finn's had only a token defense, a 2 platoons and a MG seems to have been it. There was a wall of mines and wire though, but our troops negotiated it with minimal hindrance.
The battle was mostly resolved through long range fire, and was a fairly slow affair.

We lost 45 men, mostly to long range rifle and MG fire, while they lost 62 men and the MG.

There's cause for celebration however. We have our first veteran unit! The lead paratroop squad had finally reached that hallowed status. Double vodka rations tonight!


With that, Im done for the night
