As a front note, I am building a 28mm Winter War army. Because I play a skirmish rules set, it lends itself to naming the figures. I have chosen to name them after characters from the 1989 Talvisota film.
Which brings up the quesion.
Twice in the film, a soldier takes out a tank with a molotov cocktail. Looking for the names of the characters who did it.
On the first occasion, Laitila jams a log in the tracks while another soldier throws the cocktail.
On the second occasion, the soldier does it by himself. On the way back, he fakes getting hit so he can make his getaway.
