Their contribution to the White victory and Finnish independence was critical. They provided crucial leadership and
training to the mostly green troops of the Civil War.
Immediately after the Civil War, they were afforded the right
to use the word Jkri in their military ranks. Many of the
Jkri continued their military careers, and the Jkri units
continued in service as Finlands elite. During the 1920s
there was some tension between the German trained Jkri
officers and those who had served with the Russian Imperial
army. By the Winter War most of the commanders of army
corps, divisions and regiments were former Jkri.
Bitter Enemies
The Finns are a stubborn people used to adversity. The
survival of their country is at stake. All Finnish troops are
prepared to fight at close quarters if needed to see off the
invading Red Army.
When Finnish platoons test their Motivation to
Counterattack in assaults against any Soviet platoon
(Soviet company), you may re-roll the die and apply the
re-rolled result to all Finnish platoons that failed on the
original roll.
Hunters
Finland is a country of forests and lakes and the natives know
their country well. They are able to quickly move through
this difficult terrain with ease. Skiing is the national sport
in Finland, as well as a necessity for travelling cross-country.
Finnish platoons are ski-equipped, increasing their mobility
during winter.
Finnish Infantry and Man-packed Gun teams may move
At the Double through Forests, Woods, Snow, and Deep
Snow (see page 30 of the rulebook).
Intercepted Communications
During their fighting against the Soviets the Finns would
often intercept Soviet radio communications. This gave them
prior knowledge of the Red Armys attacks and where their
troops were massing. The Finns would use this information
to bring down very accurate artillery bombardment on the
enemy positions.
Because of the excellent quality of the Finnish radio interception, Artillery Bombardments fired by an artillery platoon
with a Staff team may re-roll the third failed attempt to
range in. The artillery platoon does not get a re-roll on their
first and second attempts.

A Jkrikomppania (Light Infantry Company pronounced yay-kar-ree komp-pa-nee-a) is led by a Kapteeni
(Captain) who has been selected for his skill, courage and
initiative. The Jkri provide much of the cutting edge of
the Finnish army. Their tactics emphasise speed and mobility.

Jkri (pronounced yay-kar-ree) means hunter as well as
scout, and these units perform both roles. Whether they are
fighting alongside an infantry unit or a Panssari unit, they
are always at the vanguard. Often composed of men from
rural areas, they have excellent fieldcraft skills.

could be easily moved through the forests by its crew of

Jalkavki platoons are the strength of the Finnish Army. The
troops were not regular soldiers but all had reserve training
before the war. Now three years of combat has made them
unmatched fighters. There can be no question of retreat, for
they are fighting for their very homes. No other infantry
defend better than dug-in Jalkavki as the Soviets have discovered to their cost. In attack they are not afraid to take on
any foe, even hunting down the invaders tanks.

The large number of foresters in the Finnish army means
there is no shortage of soldiers familiar with explosives and
engineering equipment. These units are now amongst the
best trained in the whole army, and have the full range of
pioneer abilities, as well as satchel charges for use against
fortifications or tanks.
You may replace up to two Pioneer Rifle teams with Flamethrower teams at the start of the game before deployment.

Anti-tank guns are precious. In addition to the 37mm and
45mm anti-tank guns, there are now a few heavy 50mm and
75mm guns purchased from Germany. Finland still does not
have enough however, and close-defence teams equipped
with satchel charges continue to be used to bolster anti-tank
defences.

Most Finnish anti-aircraft guns are deployed to defend cities
and rail centres, leaving few for the front lines. Fortunately,
Finnish woods provide plenty of cover against marauding
Soviet aircraft, so their absence is not so important.

The Finnish Air Force has its hands full keeping Soviet
bombers from devastating Helsinki and other cities, leaving
few resources to support the infantry on the front lines. A
handful of outdated Fokker biplanes are all that are available. However, the determination and courage of their pilots
allow them to achieve much with so little.
