Can Finns cut off the attacking Red Army: Battle of Suomussalmi (Winter War)

Battle of Suomussalmi is a turn based strategy game set on the border area between Finland and the USSR during the Second World War. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011

You are in command of the Finnish forces, defending the most narrow sector of Finland against a surprise Red Army offensive aiming to cut Finland into two parts. In this campaign, you will be defending against two Soviet attacks: Initially, you have to stop and destroy the first wave of the Red Army offensive (the Battle of Suomussalmi) and then regroup to take on the second attack (the Battle of Raate Road). The object of the game is to control as many victory points as possible, or achieve a total victory by controlling all the VPs.

In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.

"This psychology, that we’ll win by sheer numbers, must be finished if you want our army to become a really modern army... Aviation, mass aviation, not hundreds but thousands of airplanes. Therefore, whoever wants to wage a modern war and win in a modern war, he cannot say that we should conserve bombs. Nonsense, comrades, we should give the enemy more bombs to stun him, to overturn his cities, then we can achieve victory. More shells, more ammo must be given, then fewer people will be lost. If you save bullets and shells, you lose more men. One must choose."
