I have watched the whole series. I don't speak any Finnish, but the captions are enough. I could not say as to how well it portrays the soldier's lot in the Finnish Army during the "Winter War". But the historical settings of the battles and the scale of forces involved seems to track pretty well to history, from what I understand. If I were wargaming at the skirmish level, or even at higher levels if I were focused on infantry-dominant actions, I think this would be pretty inspirational stuff. Sure makes me want to go out and start yet another army. -Mark

Some good attention to detail. Tank destruction was well done. If only the Finns had had something a bit more powerful than SMGs and rifles against infantry (which they certainly did in reality). Those Ratas could shift! Usual thing of magazines that never empty, helmets too small for many….one thing did annoy was the fleeing Finns at the start and, even more, their officer claiming to be the last one out and then continuing to the rear. Not sure that happened too often in that army 1939/40. |
