SGS Winter War

For 500 years we held the Barbarians at bay together, for 500 years more we shall.

Not my favorite SGS game. It's realistic, I guess. If you like pain, this is the game for you LOL. As Soviet, you throw your units into a meat grinder. As Finns, you watch your army bleed to death. Maybe I'm missing the nuances of this campaign... Technically, graphically, it's a great game. I'm just not as fond of the campaign as I thought I would be.

Historically unaccurate

I have always been fascinated by this war within a war as politically and militarily many possibilities existed at the time. In retrospect, we only remember that Finland joined with the Axis powers. This game adds the intrigue as if the Western Allies might decide to support Finland in its war with the Soviet Union. This is not the only aspect of the game I enjoy. It portrays well the challenge of better troops against better numbers and offers the player ways to embrace historical play as well as make historical and the player's own errors. But still, what if the Allies added to their over-commitments by coming to Finland's aid. It is a rare event, but the possibility is another exciting element.

Go Russia!

MMMMMMMMM, Email Multiplayer is fun
