Hmmm. I think the Soviets might be planning something... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">
I& #39;M SHOCKED. SHOCKED!
This is going to come down to how many Soviet army& #39;s I can trap in my Kola offensive I think, before swinging south. It& #39;s the only place I& #39;m attacking. Have YOLOd my paras into Murmansk to cut off their supply lines.
Sort of working. They& #39;re already trying to redeploy from the southern front. Hold the line lads! Hooooooold!

(Helps I broke their codes)
NO ONE EXPECTS THE FINNISH FIRST ARMOURED CORPS!

(h/t to Germany for the Panzer IIIs. Cheers guys. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up"> )
Things have quietened down on the Mannerheim line. Question now is do I gamble, and pull units away from it to try and reinforce the centre?
These are the key battles I think. Northern Soviet army has realised it& #39;s being encircled, and I hold Murmansk. Cut this land bridge off and that& #39;s a LOT of men holed in in the Kola peninsular.

FOR FINLAND! PUSH ON MEN! PUSH ON!
Gonna come down to the Finnish 1st Armoured again I think. Make this pocket and we& #39;ve got a chance!
HELLOOOO KOLA POCKET!

Sov& #39;s are trying to relieve the Kola Pocket. I think we YOLO on the infantry divs holding on the coast and try for a double pocket by swinging the 1st Armoured round.

Most of their own armour is in the Kola pocket anyway and they& #39;ve got no fuel there now
Right. Quick break to mow the lawn. Bet Mannerheim didn& #39;t have that problem.

The situation down south. They& #39;re pushing the pocket, but that means 15 Soviet divisions are vulnerable!

Gonna come down to the 1st Armoured. C& #39;mon the Panzer IIIs!
Meanwhile down waaaaay south.
Right. Time to step up Sweden. You know what& #39;s right...
Back up north, we& #39;ve got 23 Soviet divisions trapped in the Kola pocket.

Time to close it out. We need 4th Army down south ASAP. They& #39;ll be transferring troops from Siberia now. Guarantee it.
Sorry well it& #39;s better than a punch in the face, I suppose. Mind you they& #39;re probably selling the Soviets steel at the same time. Beause Sweden.

Manpower boost is welcome though!
Unlike the Estonians. Who are doing God& #39;s (secret) work for us again.
The pocket is closing. Meanwhile down south the Finnish 1st Armoured are desperately trying to break through and pocket the relief force.

C& #39;mon 1st Armoured!
RIP the Kola Pocket! Head south 4th Army! Head south! 1st Armoured need your help!
This is pretty knife-edge. That& #39;s 15 more Soviet divisions we could encircle, if 1st Armoured can reach the coast, but they& #39;re trying desperately to prevent it.

You can just see 4th Army starting to come down from the North.
