As Soviet lines tighten around Vyborg, elite Finnish troops push through the forests of Kivisilta in a desperate, turn-by-turn offensive.

The Finns, seeking restitution for the Winter War of 1939, had erupted across the borders and breached the Soviet Karelian Front even as the crisis to the south of Leningrad came.

On 1 July, Nord was to make a frontal attack on the Soviet positions in front of Salla. Fires and smoke hampered the German advanced through the forests.

Hakkaa Päälle! provides the ASL player with the complete order of battle for the Finns, including every major vehicle, gun, and squad type that saw combat during World War II.

After losing the important city of Viipuri to the Soviets, the Finns withdrew to the next natural defense barrier, the Kivisilta Strait. A small Soviet force crossed at the narrowest part of the strait and formed a bridgehead, and Finnish GHQ ordered a counterattack to clear it.

Hakkaa Päälle! adds quite a facelift to the Finnish, by providing new squad types, new SWs, and of course guns and AFVs. There are also a number of early war and rare Russian AFVs, Aerosans, and some new rules for such things as Light Woods, Prepared Fire Zones, Russian Early War Doctrine, as well as updates to the Finnish to bring them more in line with historical accuracy.
