SUMMER STORM: Eastern Front June 1944
On June 22, 1944 the long awaited Russian Summer Offensive began. In the north the Russian Karelian Front facing Finland began its attack supported by the 3rd, 2nd and 1st Baltic Fronts which faced the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Luthuania.
This event recreates some of the heavy fighting as the hard pressed German and Finnish units attempt to slow the Soviet Juggernaut.
