The Continuation War was a conflict fought between Finland and the Soviet Union during World War II, spanning from 1941 to 1944. It was a complex chapter in the broader context of the war, with Finland seeking to regain territories lost in the Winter War (1939-1940) and the Soviet Union aiming to secure its western borders. The conflict was intertwined with the larger dynamics of the Eastern Front, where Germany and the Soviet Union were engaged in a fierce struggle. The roots of the Continuation War can be traced back to the Winter War when the Soviet Union unsuccessfully attempted to annex Finnish territories. The Moscow Peace Treaty of 1940 forced Finland to cede significant territories, including Karelia. The harsh terms of the treaty fueled a desire for revenge among the Finns, setting the stage for the subsequent conflict.

The war featured a series of battles characterized by the challenging Arctic conditions and dense forests of Finland. Finnish troops displayed remarkable resilience and skill in guerrilla warfare, utilizing their knowledge of the terrain to their advantage. Key battles, such as the Siege of Leningrad, showcased the strategic importance of the Finnish Front in the broader context of the Eastern Front.

The Moscow Armistice forced Finland to make significant territorial concessions to the Soviet Union, including the whole of Karelia and parts of Salla and Petsamo. The war had profound and lasting effects on Finland, shaping its post-war political and social landscape. The nation faced the daunting task of rebuilding and reconciling with the consequences of the Conflict.

In conclusion, the Continuation War was a pivotal chapter in Finnish history, shaped by a complex interplay of geopolitical factors and a quest for national survival. The conflict's legacy, etched in the memories of those who lived through it, continues to be a subject of reflection and debate in Finland today.

The Battle of Suursaari was fought over the frozen Gulf of Finland on and around the islands of Suursaari and Suur-Tytärsaari during the Second World War. After sharp fighting the numerically superior Finnish forces seized the Islands, and later provided support for Nazi German forces defending Suur-Tytärsaari against Soviet counterattacks.

Finnish forces successfully overcame most of the Soviet defenders and captured key locations on the island. Fatigue from the long march to the island, enemy resistance, and difficult terrain forced the Finns to halt their assault at which time the only remaining Soviet strongpoints were in the extreme southern and northern tips of the island. During the night some of the Soviet forces still on the island chose to flee over the ice. The Finns resumed clearing the island the next morning. In many cases, defending Soviet forces refused to surrender and put up very stiff resistance, forcing the Finns to use satchel charges on Soviet positions. The last remaining Soviet strongpoints were taken on the morning of 29 March.

We will play as the 27th Jäger Battalion.
