•
The Soviets have numerous but poorly led and badly organized forces at the start of the game, but their reinforcements are impressive.
•
The Finnish must hold desperately against the initial onslaught and vastly superior strength of their enemy, thanks to their superior quality and ideal defensive positions, hoping to gain enough time when threats of Allied Intervention discourages the Russian bear.
Be careful however of the potential weakness in number on the Finns side, as well as the uncertainty of Stalin's resolve on the other...
