For 105 days, the tiny nation of Finland fought a war that typically merits
only a footnote in a history book, or a passing remark in a WWII documentary. Taking
on the vast manpower of the Soviet Army, th Finns put up a fanatical defence of their
homeland, inflicting horrific casualties of the invading Russian Army. Eventually,
the overwhelming number of the Soviet troops and tanks sent into Finland forced the
Finns to sue for peace, but they walked away from the conflict with their much bigger
neighbour, having their independance and national pride intact. Their struggle
influenced the landscape and direction of the entire world war that followed, and
perhaps the outcome as well. Now you can experience these dire actions in the latest
edition to Squad Battles Series of Wargames.
