Per the request from our friends organizing The 11th Annual Finnish Aces High Spring meeting in Virrat, Finland , we'll have the following setup in the Allied vs Axis (AvA) arena around midnight, EST on Thursday after Tank Night. And okay, yes, I tweaked it a bit. Here you go, Enjoy.


Remember to take advantage of the nice
FinRus aircraft skins available for
most of these planes.

The Continuation War



The Continuation War (jatkosota, fortsättningskriget, 25 June 1941 - 19 September 1944) was the second of two wars fought between Finland and the Soviet Union during World War II.

At the time of the war, the Finnish side used the name to make clear its perceived relationship to the preceding Winter War. The Soviet Union saw the war as a part of its struggle against Germany and its allies, the Eastern Front of World War II or, as it was known in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War. Germany saw its operations in the region as a part of its overall war efforts of World War II. It provided critical material support and military cooperation to Finland. The United Kingdom declared war on Finland on 6 December 1941, followed by its dominions shortly afterwards. The British declaration of war on Finland during the Continuation War is a rare case of democracies declaring war on other democracies, although no hostilities ensued between the two parties. The United States, like many other nations, did not fight or declare war against Finland.

Acts of war between the two countries started on the day on which the German invasion of the Soviet Union was launched, 22 June 1941. Open warfare began with a Soviet air offensive on 25 June 1941. Subsequent Finnish operations undid its post-Winter War cessations on the Karelian Isthmus and Ladoga Karelia and captured East Karelia by September 1941.

======================================== Early war

On 3/28/1942 a flight of six Curtiss Hawk 75A (CU) fighters from LLv.32 led by Lt. P. Nurminen were protecting the conquer parade of Suursaari island on the Gulf of Finland. During the parade another CU flight of six planes led by Lt. J. Arnkill was alarmed to help intercepting three approaching Soviet formations of a total of 29 Polikarpov I-153 and I-16 fighters. Finns attacked Soviet fighters east from Suursaari island after which aerial combat reigned about an hour. During the dogfight 10 I-153s and seven I-16s were shot down without own losses. Soviet planes could not reach the island and parade was not disturbed.

On 4/6/1942 a flight of eight Finnish Brewster B-239 (BW) fighters led by Lt. L. Pekuri which were returning from a reconnaissance mission met a formation of seven Soviet Ilyushin DB-3 and Petlyakov Pe-2 bombers escorted by 18 Hawker Hurricane II and Lavochin LaGG-3 fighters over Tiiksjärvi (East Karelia). During the combat Finns shot down two DBs and 12 Hurricanes without own losses.

The AvA is setup.

I couldn't help it; I added the Jeep so the new guys can drive around Viipuri.

Pass me a beer.  ;)
Then I'll probably need some sleep after that. I'm 10 hours behind you guys.

Even the seasoned pilots get tired during the prolonged defensive fights and night raids.
