I recently found this about the the only tank battle of the Winter War: www.karwansaraypublishers.com/wss_online/issue-94/

I was wondering if anybody could help with the Finnish tanks? It mentions the Vickers-Armstrong 6-Ton as the main Finnish tank and that it was similar to the Russian T-26 and the Polish 7TP. What should be used? I tried to look at the Custom card thread but their is no card images.

As for the map initially I'm thinking of some combination of the Eastern Front maps, but I was also thinking about the winter maps also. Which would be more accurate based on the map in the article?

Great questions about one of my favorite topics of WWII: The Winter War!

(1) If you want an actual card to refer to and hold in your hand as you play, your best bet is to probably use the Finnish T-26 card from the Early War set. Yes, it's dated 1941, but it should be about right when compared to the stats of the Russian T-28. Also, I KNOW for a fact that Sharpe made a card for this as part of his Sharpedia. Unfortunately, since we're unable to upload files on this site, I can't show you the actual card, but I CAN give you the stats on it once I get home from work tonight. Sharpe was a member of our local AAM group, and the one who introduced me to this game and taught me how to play. He made custom cards on just about everything you can think of for WWII. Heck, he even had a card for the Luxembourg army.

(2) As for the maps, again, let me get back to you tonight.

Thanks for asking!
