World at War #103: Battle of Finland 1944 (Game Edition) combines an in-depth historical magazine with a fully playable wargame covering the Soviet offensive against Finland in the summer of 1944. Explore one of the lesser-known but strategically significant campaigns of World War II.

• Complete Game Edition – Includes both the World at War magazine and a fully playable wargame, blending historical analysis with tabletop gameplay.
• Eastern Front Campaign Simulation – Recreate the Soviet push into Finland, where speed and efficiency are critical to achieving victory.
• Operational-Level Gameplay – Command corps, divisions, and brigades across a detailed map, balancing offensive momentum and defensive resilience.
• Includes Historical Articles – Features additional content on Operation Olive in Italy, Japan’s oil strategy, and comparisons of amphibious operations across WWII theatres.

The magazine explores why the Soviet offensive failed to achieve total victory, analysing the resilience of Finnish forces and the strategic priorities of the Red Army.

In the game, the Soviet player must defeat Finland quickly to redeploy forces to the critical Bagration offensive, while the Finnish player aims to delay and resist, preventing total defeat.

Each turn represents approximately one week of operations, with units ranging from corps and divisions to smaller specialised formations. Success depends on careful planning, timing, and effective use of limited resources.
