Germany - New Counteroffensive in Finland - 03 Sep to 23 Sep 1940

03-05 Sep 1940: I intending attacking at Mikkali and North of Lahti. The Soviet defences are looking very thin.
07 Sep 1940: The attacks are looking promising. I also order the 13. Panzer-Division to attack north from Lappeenranta.
09 Sep 1940: All 3 attacks are 'green'.
10 Sep 1940: The attack N. of Lahti is struggling so I order the 18. Panzer-Division to support it.
11 Sep 1940: Success at Mikkali and we are adancing towards Varkaus and supporting the attack on our right flank.
13 Sep 1940: Italy again.
I'm confident that we can capture Varkaus and Savonlinna further East.
16 Sep 1940: Varkaus has been captured and we are one State away from Savonlinna..
18 Sep 1940: Savonlinna has fallen and I send the 290. Sturm-Division to cover our right flank.
19 Sep 1940: I order the 15. Panzer-Division to support a Finnish Infantry Division.
I start an attack towards Kuopio - if captured 6 Soviet divisions would be cut off.
21 Sep 1940: Kuopio wasn't feasible so I try elsewhere.
23 Sep 1940: Research has been completed on Range Improvements....
....and I select Improved Infantry Equipment II from Mauser next
Junkers receives the Trait HEAT Bombs.
I order the 169. Sturm-Division to support the battle N. of Lahti.
The 290. Sturm-Division attacks along the northern edge of Ladogasee.
 We have successfully pushed back the Soviets and captured several cities.
