In 167 Breakout From Prääzä, the date for the action is wrong. It is not 8 August 1941; but instead 8 September 1941. 168 Forest Bastion (8 September 1941) provides more context on the battle and the aftermath of the scenario points at the subsequent action featured in 167 Breakout From Prääzä. In an ideal world, official ASL scenarios are in chronological sequence and therefore the sequence of scenarios should be Forest Bastion, then Breakout From Prääzä. A standard (English) source like Vesa Nenye et al., Finland at War. The Continuation and Lapland Wars 1941-45, confirms in its chronology that Prääzä (spelled Prääsä) was taken on 8 September 1941.

I have designed both scenarios and indeed the date for ASL167 is wrong in the printed version. I have probably submitted a final version with a incorrect date for publication and was probably blind to my own mistake when this was proofed.
I noticed this myself couple of years ago when the module was already out, but you are indeed the first one to point it out.
Again shows how incredibly difficult it is to get every detail right with this stuff.
