The Germans placed one ENT in the crossroad hex (HMG + 75mm) and another ENT two hexes away (HMG + INF). Two groups of 2xINF act as mobile defensive partners for these bastions. The 50mm and the 2xSP's were placed farther away simply to lure Finnish units away to deal with them.

Action was very intense: the first OF roll for the Germans was a 12 on the 11-col. Sisi go home. Whilst using some units to "hold" the German-held ENT at the crossroads, the Finn's set to attack the other ENT. Again, OF is devastating (a 2X result), but, the Finn's get adjacent; survive, amazingly, the 30-col DF attack next turn (as Germans got initiative), and in they go. Thus begins the typically slug fest in an ENT held by a high morale defender. Whilst full strength Finns held a 9 morale, German first fire that killed a step, took away not just Finnish assault strength, but cost them the "morale bonus". So essentially the Finns had to make due with the LDR + ENG cancelling the ENT bonus. The Germans rolled well, though, on 18 or 13 col assault first fires and bled the Finns down though eventually, that ENT fell.

German VPs: 7 Finnish steps lost + 2 (ENT held) + 2 (crossroads held)= 11 Finn VPs: 11 German steps + 2xSPs + 4 (ENT captured) = 15

Sufficient for a Minor Finnish Victory.
