Near pre-war Russo-Finnish border, 7 January 1943 (Best played vs. human opponent.) "Winter Kill" is a fictional scenario set in Lapland, near the Arctic Circle, in January ' 43. Two Axis battlegroups - one German, the other Finnish - try to stop a strong, mostly ski-capable Russian force in a forest wilderness. This ad hoc Soviet "mobile group" is probing the thinly-manned juncture be- tween the German and Finnish fronts.
