Stalin's Lost Chance Game

The game depicts the Winter War between 30th November 1939 to 13th March 1940.
The Finnish defence plan was made on the belief that the Soviet army would target its primary offensive on the Karelian isthmus. An offensive was also expected on the north-western and northern side of Lake Ladoga, where the road network was relatively good. This is the area upon which Stalin’s Lost Chance focuses. Two divisions of the Finnish IV Army Corps were located there. North of Ilomantsi, the entire long eastern frontier was manned only with detached battalions and border companies, when the war broke.
The Soviet Union’s 8th Army, comprising six divisions and a tank brigade, had grouped a division or two on every road up north leading from east to west. Its mission was to execute a flanking manoeuvre around the northern shore of Lake Ladoga to strike at the rear of the Mannerheim Line
