Re: DAR: USSR vs Finland
Turn 34
One more enemy squad pushed forward to only be tossed back on the Engineer's front. Alpha squads are starting to move into the gap north of the south lake. Enemy artillery shifted to target a 50mm mortar that was firing at them.
Alpha engaged and destroyed enemy scout with help from a couple of tanks. The enemy squad was beat up pretty badly as well. Out 450m, another enemy squad fired at my forces, but I don't know where it is.
Bravo moving forward; no resistance.
Charlie column continuing to move north along road. ACs engaged one routed enemy squad without affect.
Delta scouts turned one flag.
Casualties
Friendly: Zero.
Enemy: Estimated 10 casualties.
Status Report
This is the last turn of the night, so I will provide an update. I have captured 14/21 flags. There are 4 more flags in reach, but I will have to fight hard to get two of them. The remaining three flags (230, 195, 195) are in the northwest corner of the map and given the environmental conditions, i.e. snow, and no roads heading that way, it is unlikely I will get to them. This battle is looking to be a marginal victory. I might make a run for the three flags with my ACs, but it will require smoke and luck. For all I know, there are ATGs or AA Guns sitting on each one. With 15 turns left, I don't have time for anything elegant to capture them. I suppose it is worth risking an 18pt and 19pt AC to maybe capture a 195 point flag.
