For my first encounter with the Finns and Arctic Front Deluxe, this scenario fit the appetite. Finns start anywhere on the north-south road, Russians enter from east, west or both. I put the Finnish Ltc with an HMG and Infantry and the 37mm guns on the road towards the center of the board as a reaction force, with an Lt and 2 Infantry 5 hexes north on the road and the last LT with the last infantry and HMG 5 hexes south on the road. I split the Russians to enter with the Captain and Kommissar with 3 infantry coming in from the east and the LT with 3 more infantry coming in from the west. The whole board is woods, with open terrain treated as light woods, regular woods as regular and the darker dense woods as heavy woods. All troops are ski troops with a movement of 5. The Russian captain came in along the south edge of the board hoping to grab and hold a road hex and perhaps spread his forces north a bit to hold more road hexes in the end. The Russian LT came in center board from the west, hoping to divert the central and northern reaction forces to give the Captain a better chance of holding against a smaller force. While he succeeded in focusing more attention on him, it didnt help much as the Captain and his troops got chewed up when first hit by direct fire and then assaulted by the southern Finnish force. The Russians in the south took heavier losses and in the end, only the demoralized Kommissar was left wandering in the woods. In the center, casualties were lighter but morale was destroyed and never regained, the LT pulling back out of range hoping to regroup and make a dash for a road hex on the last turn. His attempt failed and 3 demoralized steps of Russian infantry walked through the woods back the way they came, smelling sausage soup cooking somewhere nearby. Great little fight.
