I have made a huge 11 battle historical operation. It's a Finnish assault against a fortified Soviet line on summer 1941. Email to me if you want to get it.

Title: Näätäoja

Type: Finnish assault operation (Historical)

Time: 0700 hrs

Location: Karelia, north of Lake Ladoga

Background:

On the north of lake Ladoga the Finnish Karelian Army began it's offensive on 10th of July 1941. The objectives were to reach the northern shore of lake Ladoga and advance to east to the old border. In the middle sector 5th Division advanced fast to SE. Recon battalion Kev.Os.4 (light infantry detachment 4) covered 70km in 5 days. On July 15th they arrived at Näätäoja where they met enemy in fortified positions. On the next day reserves were called to replace light recon forces and to make a breakthrough so that the advance to east could continue. This followed 12 day long continuous battle in which both sides suffered heavy losses.

The map is based on 1:20000 topographic map (printed 1939).
