Situation
Early summer 2020 Russian troops breached the Finnish border from four different locations, one of them being border crossing of Vaalimaa.
Finnish troops are currently being organized and some are already doing their best to halt the enemy's advance.
Platoon of mechanized infantry from Sweden was training with Finnish troops when attack commenced. A political decision was quickly made by swedish government to help its long time ally.
Mission
Light infantry battalion 72 has been able to halt russian mechanized infantry battalion at Virojoki bridge crossing but is running out of men and resources quickly.
The russian advance force is already looking for alternative options north of Virojoki.
A hasty decision to conduct a counter-attack has been made. FIN-SWE mechanized battlegroup has moved during the night to a forward position and is ready to attack with one MECHINF company.
However BG is not 100% ready. Only one artillery battery is ready to support. BG's tank company is still on its way and low on fuel.
The BG's mission is to destroy enemy forces and retake east-end of the Virojoki bridge and setup a defensive line.
Enemy
Enemy's backbone are its three mechinf companies. One is at the bridge crossing and one is currently holding the bridge. The third one took heavy casualties trying to cross the bridge and is currently reinforcing.
A company of T72B3s is reported to operate in the area. It is estimated that they have lost 1-3 tanks.
North of the bridge you are also to expect GMG platoon along with MANPAD platoon. These usually act as a "flank guard" for MECHINF battalion.
Enemy has used MLRS mines north of the bridge to cover its flank. Also expect a full strength mortar battery to support the battalion's fight.
