Finnish Assualt gun based on the BT-7 hull armed with a British 114mm howitzer: 1 Assault Gun, 1 mounted crew. The BT-42 was developed on the chassis of captured Soviet BT-7 obr 1937 tanks. The standard turret BT-7 was rebuilt to mount the British Q.F. 4.5inch Howitzer Mark II (114mm, Finnish designation 114 Psv.H/18) donated to the Finns during the Winter War. The howitzers additionally were fitted with a Finnish designed muzzle brake. A total 18 tanks were converted. The BT-42s were issued in the autumn of 1943. They were used to bombard Soviet fortifications on the opposite side of the river Syväri. They used both direct and indirect fire, and though they destroyed several bunkers, the Finnish crews were not impressed with the new vehicle. The BT-42 was prone to mechanical failures inherited from its BT-7 hull and further exacerbated by the added weight of the howitzer and larger turret. The gun itself also proved only useful against soft targets and it had very little anti-tank capability. In the summer 1944 the BT-42 saw its next action in and around Viipuri (Vyborg) against a Soviet offensive. They lost eight BT-42s during the fighting to defend the town. During the fighting the inadequacy of the 114mm gun against armour was proved when one BT-42 hit a heavy Soviet tank 18 times without causing any noticeable effect on the tank. Soon after the BT-42s were withdrawn from the field to be scrapped.

Even though they are toy soldiers, your troops react to heavy fire like real soldiers. Sometimes they get pinned down or bail out of their tanks. They can dig foxholes for protection or go to ground, hiding from the enemy. Tokens help you keep track of the state of your troops.

A Kapteeni (Captain) leads an infantry company of three platoons. Finnish infantry companies are organised along German lines and have four squads. A cadre of Finnish field officers fought as a Jäger battalion in the German Army in World War One. They returned to teach German Jäger tactics to all the Finnish officers. As a result Finnish field officers are very well trained and after three years of war, highly experienced. In attack the Jalkaväki’s superior fieldcraft gives them the ability to advance quickly and use ‘motti’ tactics—first encircling and then assaulting and destroying the enemy. Jalkaväki platoons are the strength of the Finnish Army. The troops are not regular soldiers, but all had reserve training before the war. Now three years of combat has made them unmatched fighters. There can be no question of retreat, for they are fighting for their very homes. No other infantry defend better than dug-in Jalkaväki as the Soviets have discovered to their cost. In attack they are not afraid to take on any foe, even hunting down the invaders’ tanks.

The Jääkäri troops were initially Finnish volunteers served with the Germans, training as Jägers (elite light infantry), during World War One as the Royal Prussian 27th Jäger Battalion. They fought on the northern flank of the eastern front from 1916. At the outbreak of the Civil War in Finland Jägers were released from German service and 2,000 volunteers were soon fighting to put down the communists. Their contribution to the White victory and Finnish independence was critical. They provided crucial leadership and training to the mostly green troops of the Civil War. The Jääkäri continued their role as elite light infantry during the Winter and Continuation Wars. The Jääkäri (yay-kah-ree, or hunters) scout ahead and provide flank security. Many Finnish soldiers are hunters and woodsmen, familiar with the country and completely at home in it. Their ability to advance silently and undetected is remarkable. They are aggressively led and their role is as much assault as reconnaissance.

Luftvärnskanonvagn L-62 Anti II (Swedish) Swedish company Landsverk developed L-62 design during 1941-42 by lengthening the hull of the L-60/m-36 tank (see HU010 Toldi) and mounting the excellent 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft cannon (40 ItK/38). Finland bought six Landsverk Anti-II anti-aircraft vehicles from Sweden in 1942. In May they were assigned to the Anti-aircraft battery of the Armoured Brigade. During the summer 1944 battles the battery downed eleven Soviet aircraft and prevented air-attacks against the Armoured Brigade. The Finns continued to use Landsverk Anti-II until 1966.

The Finnish Army had become famous across the world for its epic defence against the 1939 Soviet invasion of the Winter War. In 1941 they joined the Germans in the war against the Soviet Union. The bitter lessons of the Winter War had been well learned. These were further reinforced during the hard fighting of 1941 as they recaptured lost territory and pushed the Red Army back to their original frontiers. With hard-fighting infantry, skilled light infantry, and their newly formed armoured units, the Finnish Army are more than prepared to fight the Soviets to a standstill again. Inside you will find: Background on the Finnish Army and its divisions during Continuation War against the Soviets between 1942 and 1943. Instructions on how to build: * An Armoured Company armed with T-26 light tanks, T-28 and T-34 medium tanks and KV-1 heavy tanks. It also has its own armoured AA tanks in the Swedish designed 40mm Bofors gun armed Landsverk Anti II. * A Light Infantry Company based the famous elite Jääkäri (Jäger). These fearless riflemen are backed up by anti-tank rifles, machine-guns, light mortars, and submachine-gunners. * An Infantry Company. The Jalkaväki infantry make up the bulk of the Finnish army. Finnish infantry companies were well-balanced teams with infantry, Jääkäri (scout) units, machine-guns, and mortars able to see off any enemy infantry assault. With the attachment of divisional assets such as anti-aircraft and anti-tank platoons, and perhaps even some captured tanks, they made the forests of Finland a death trap for enemy tanks. The booklet also includes a handy basing guide to help get you troops on the table. The booklet comes bundled with Unit Cards (27) and Command Cards (18). The Command Cards include Warrior Lauri Törni, as well as build cards like the Pioneer Company, unit upgrades like Close Defence (discard to give an infantry team AT3 and FP 1+ in an Assault) or Sissi Tactics (Discard to pass Blitz on 2+ for any Unit Leader within 8”/20cm of the Formation Commander.

Vuoden 1980 jalkaväkiprikaatin kiväärijoukkueessa oli 37 sotilasta. Joukkueenjohtajana oli upseeri, joukkueen varajohtajana vanhempi aliupseeri, kersantti, taistelulähetti, lääkintämies sekä traktorinkuljettaja. Joukkue liikkui jalan, polkupyörillä tai maataloustraktorin peräkärryn lavalla. Tavoitteena oli kyetä liikkumaan noin 22 kg:n kenttävarustuksessa jalkamarssein noin 25 km ja polkupyörillä 120 km vuorokaudessa taistelukykyisenä. Tämän lisäksi joukkueessa oli neljä kivääriryhmää, joiden vahvuus oli 1+7. Ryhmän viidennellä miehellä oli kevyt 7,62 mm:n konekivääri. Yleensä yhtä jalkaväkiryhmää voitiin vahvistaa sinkopartiolla, jolla oli 55 S 55 -kevytsinko. Joukkueelle voitiin osoittaa myös tulenjohtue. Taktinen jako perustui nelijakoisuuteen, jossa neljä ryhmää olivat joukkue, neljä komppaniaa pataljoona ja neljä pataljoonaa prikaati kaikkine esikunta- ja huolto-osineen sekä tukevine osineen.

Contains three T-55 Marksman Anti-aircraft Tanks. To replace the aging ZSU-57-2 AA tanks, the Finns fitted the British Marksman turret to the T-55 tank hull. The Marksman turret has proved to be a very accurate anti-aircraft artillery system, having a documented hit percentage of 52.44%. It has a modern Marconi Series 400 anti-aircraft radar system and is armed with two Swiss Oerlikon 35mm anti-aircraft autocannons, giving it similar performance to the West German Gepard.
