Group Vuokko*
*
Date: December 8, 1939*
*
Battle Location: Kuhmo region, Finland*
*
Battle Type: Finland advance vs USSR delay*
*
Description: Group Vuokko of the newly established Finnish Brigade W had been given the task of attacking the Soviet elements strung out along the road between Rasti and Savikki.*
*
Following their usual motti tactic of trying to isolate the various elements of the generally road bound Soviet forces the Finnish operation went ahead on December 8. Due to lack of heavy weapons like artillery and AT guns and some problems with command and communications the operation proved to be a tough one.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Finnish side.*
