US 7th Armoured Div vs Finn Infantry in Breakthrough

Detroit's finest run into a Finnish wall!

Game 3 of Operation Cobra (LW 1650) was against Nick and his Finns.  The mission was Breakthrough and that meant that I was going to be trying to punch through his veteran infantry to get to the objectives.  Nick was getting ready to head off to the ETC where he was going to represent Canada.  His 1650 LW list looked something like this:

The real reason Patton hated the Russians so much....

Game 2 of Operation Cobra (LW 1650 tournament) was against Matt and he was running a mixed tank/infantry Russian force.  The mission was No Retreat with both of us have the always attack special rule but Matt was mechanized infantry and I was tanks so I got to attack.
