A simulation of the Soviet offensive against Finland in the summer of 1944. The Soviet player must defeat Finland as soon as possible within a limited timeframe so that the Red Army can return to the decisive direction of the war, the Bagration offensive in June-July 1944. Historically, the Soviets achieved a marginal victory — the Finnish had to withdraw from Ladoga Karelia, but nevertheless prevented the Soviet forces from achieving their ultimate objective — the unconditional surrender of Finland and the Sovietization of the country. Each game turn represents about seven days. Each hexagon is six miles (10 kilometers) from side to opposite side. Units are corps, divisions, brigades or equivalents and some specialized smaller units.
