Memoir'44 Russo-Finnish War: Suomussalmi December 1939

I played an excellent game of Memoir'44 using my Finnish ski troops for the first time. The setup looked like this.

The Finns started aggressively against the Russian positions but were repulsed. After a steady pickup of medals through attritional hit and run attacks by the ski troops and ambushing of Russian armour it looked as though the situation had been recovered. 
 



The Soviets, however,  were getting some very favourable card draws which enabled them to expolit their superior numbers and eliminate the requisite number of Finnish units. 
A narrow Soviet victory of 6 to 4.


The usual intervention by the cat!
