FINNISH SPECIAL RULES

SELFSUFFICIENTTe Finnish Army is composed of farmers and hunters, used

to an outdoor lifestyle and making their own decisions. Teirtraining emphasised this self-sufficiency.

Finnish Platoons use the German Mission actics specialrule from the rule book.

BITTERENEMIESTe Finns are a stubborn people used to adversity. Tesurvival of their country is at stake. All Finnish troops areprepared to fight at close quarters if needed to see off theinvading Red Army.

Finnish forces gain the British Bulldog special rule when

fighting against any Soviet force.

HUNTERSFinland is a country of forests and lakes and the natives knowtheir country well. Tey are able to quickly move throughthis difficult terrain with ease. Skiing is the national sportin Finland, as well as a necessity for travelling cross-country.Finnish platoons are ski-equipped, increasing their mobilityduring winter.

Finnish Infantry and Man-packed Gun teams treat Woodsas Cross-country errain instead of Difficult Going andForests as Difficult Going instead of Very Difficult Going(see page 31 of the rulebook), allowing them to move At theDouble through Woods, but not denser Forests.

In the winter Finnish Infantry and Man-packed Gun teamstreat deep snow as Cross-country errain instead of DifficultGoing (see page 244 of the rulebook), allowing them tomove At the Double across deep snow covered terrain.

FIREANDRELOCATETe Finnish Jkri move swiftly through the forests of theirland and were experts at quickly relocating their machine-gun positions.

A Jkri Machine-gun Platoons Maxim HMG team firesat ROF 1 if they move, unlike most HMG teams.

AUTOMATEDFIRECONTROLGeneral Vilho P Nenonen trained and reorganised the

Finnish artillery. Now they have several innovations toimprove its performance. Finnish artillery organisation isvery flexible and allows any Forward Observer to call downfire from any battery in range. Major Unto Petjs newcorrection converter meant that artillery could respond toorders from any Observer very quickly, with a high degreeof accuracy.

A Finnish Observer team from an artillery platoon (anyplatoon containing teams that can fire bombardments)may act as the Spotting team for another artillery platooninstead of its own platoon without the need for a Staffteam (see Spotting for Other Platoons on page 127 of the

rulebook). When doing this they can still only spot for oneplatoon per turn.

Company Commander teams acting as Spotters still receivethe +1 penalty to score required to Range In.

INTERCEPTEDCOMMUNICATIONSDuring their fighting against the Soviets the Finns wouldoften intercept Soviet radio communications. Tis gave themprior knowledge of the Red Armys attacks and where theirtroops were massing. Te Finns would use this informationto bring down very accurate artillery bombardment on theenemy positions.

Because of the excellent quality of the Finnish radio in-terception, Finnish Artillery Bombardments fired by an

Artillery Battery may re-roll the third failed attempt torange in.

If it still fails on the re-roll you have failed to bring in yourbombardment. Te Artillery Battery does not get a re-rollon their first and second attempts.

TeJkritroops were initially Finnish volunteers servingwith the Germans, training as Jgers (elite light infantry),during World War I as the Royal Prussian 27 thJger Battalion.Tey fought on the northern flank of the eastern front from1916. Te Finns were secretly recruited from universitystudents and the upper middle class, though other member

of Finnish society were also recruited.

At the outbreak of the Civil War in Finland, Jgers whointended to engage on the White (non-Socialist) side inthe war were released from German service. 2,000 volunteers

were soon fighting to put down the communists.

Teir contribution to the White victory and Finnish inde-pendence was critical. Tey provided crucial leadership andtraining to the mostly green troops of the Civil War.

Immediately after the Civil War, they were afforded the rightto use the wordJkriin their military ranks. Many of the

Jkricontinued their military careers, and theJkriunitscontinued in service as Finlands elite. During the 1920sthere was some tension between the German trainedJkriofficers and those who had served with the Russian Imperialarmy. By the Winter War most of the commanders of armycorps, divisions and regiments were formerJkri.

KAPTEENILA

URITRNI

FINNISH

Lauri Allan rni was born in Viipuri in 1919 where hisfamily had a large home. He learned from an Olympic boxingchampion and already had a reputation as a tough, disciplined

fighter and a fine skier before he joined the Finnish Army in1938. During the Winter War he proved a brilliantly effectivesoldier in Sissiski-guerilla units. By the end of the Winter Warhe had earned the rank of Sergeant.

Despite this, his home in Viipuri was part of the Finnishterritory lost to the Soviet Union. Tis only added to rnishatred of communism.

After the Winter War, rni was determined to continue thefight against the Soviet Union, and travelled to Germany totrain with the Waffen-SS. In Operation Barbarossa, rniagain proved an excellent soldier, and was decorated with theIron Cross Second Class. After Finland declared war on the

Soviet Union again in the Continuation War, he returnedhome and re-enlisted in the Finnish Army.

KAPTEENI

LAURI TRNI

CHARACTERISTICS

Captain Lauri rni is a Warrior and Command team ratedas Fearless Veteran.

SPECIALRULES

Implacable:Lauri and the Jkri Platoon he is leading passall Motivation ests on a 2+.

Skilled Soldier:Lauri and the Jkri Platoon he is leadingmay re-roll any failed Skill ests, applying the new resultinstead.

During the Continuation War (1941-1944) rni provedan excellent combat leader, first with armour and then withlight infantry, and was promoted to Captain. His long-range

missions were so successful that the Red Army put a price of 3million Finnish Marks on his head. In 1944 he was transferredto the Karelian Isthmus, scene of the final Soviet offensive. Heled a Jkriunit which made a decisive counterattack andhelped stabilise the line after the Soviet breakthrough. He wasawarded the Mannerheim Cross, Finlands highest medal forbravery.

ornis life in the military did not end there. After the warhe journeyed to the United States, became a citizen andenlisted in the US army as Larry Torn. He served with USSpecial Forces and led missions in places ranging from Iran toVietnam, being decorated several times. He served two tours

in Vietnam before being killed in Laos in 1965.He was the basis of the character played by John Wayne inthe movie Green Berets.

Jkri (pronounced yay-kar-ree) means hunter as well asscout, and these units perform both roles. Whether they arefighting alongside an infantry unit or a Panssari unit, theyare always at the vanguard. Often composed of men fromrural areas, they have excellent fieldcraft skills.

A Jkrikomppania (Light Infantry Company pro-nounced yay-kar-ree komp-pa-nee-a) is led by a Kapteeni(Captain) who has been selected for his skill, courage andinitiative. Te Jkriprovide much of the cutting edge ofthe Finnish army. Teir tactics emphasise speed and mobility.

A high proportion of their leaders are volunteers or formerregular army officers.

Te Finns captured a handful of operational medium andheavy tanks. Amongst these were enough up-armoured -28medium tanks to give two companies a platoon each. Te-28 is an unusual design dating from 1933. As was commonin that period, it has a main turret and two machine-gunturrets. If thats not enough, the main turret has machine-guns both front and rear!

Te Finns captured four -34 medium tanks and two

KV-1 tanks between 1941 and 1943. Te Finns managed toget three -34 tanks operational and assigned them to the3rdank Company for use against the Red Army.

With their excellent mobility, good armour and effectivegun, the -34 is perhaps the best tank in the Finnish arsenal.

All three were used against their former owners.

Our forces captured many Soviet B-7 tanks in the WinterWar and 1941 offensive that were too lightly armoured forservice as tanks. Instead they have had howitzers added toform the B-42, our first assault gun! In the fighting on theSyvri River in the spring of 1943, the conversion proved alittle unwieldy for tank combat, but very useful for infantrysupport.

Jalkavkiplatoons are the strength of the Finnish Army. Tetroops were not regular soldiers but all had reserve trainingbefore the war. Now three years of combat has made themunmatched fighters. Tere can be no question of retreat, forthey are fighting for their very homes. No other infantrydefend better than dug-in Jalkavkias the Soviets have dis-covered to their cost. In attack they are not afraid to take onany foe, even hunting down the invaders tanks.

Most Finnish anti-aircraft guns are deployed to defend citiesand rail centres, leaving few for the front lines. Fortunately,Finnish woods provide plenty of cover against maraudingSoviet aircraft, so their absence is not so important.

THEHISTORYOFTHEFINNISHHAKARISTITe blue (on aircraft) or black (on armoured vehicles) Finnish hooked cross (Hakaristi) was originally thesymbol of luck of the family of Count von Rosen, who donated his first plane to the Finnish White Army,

in 1918 during the War of Independence.It was adopted as the official national marking of the Finnish Air Forces and later on, the Army. Only after the Nazisadopted a similar hooked cross as their emblem did this ancient symbol acquire political significance. In other words,the Finnish hooked cross had nothing to do with the Nazi party, Nazi ideology or fascism in general.
