Meanwhile, at Viborg Bay the fighting can only be described as, ermmm, Furious, as at turn #26/40 the Soviet tanks enter the city of Viborg - British Steel at both sides of front lines! - :
Churchill VII's of the 46th Guards Breakthrough Rgt (I believe) entering Viborg, June 20 1944
... as reported by a friendly Vickers 6 ton tank crew, who by summer 1944 had strict instructions to avoid battle with the superior Soviet tanks:
A Finnish Vickers 6 ton of the Tank Bde at Viborg, June 20 1944
Design note: Lend-and-lease Valentines saw action at Finnish front too, but unfortunately not within this area. I am still looking for an excuse to have them in. Added a few T-60 and T-70 recon platoons to v2. Considering adding a what-if mk IVJ platoon or two too, although they missed the time frame by a couple of weeks... More the merrier! Why have the plethora of unit types if you don't use them
