I played a handful of scenarios which were great. Proofing many others showed me many that i cannot wait to play.

Looking forward to this one. Watched quite a few of the playtest games and they were generally excellent! Wondering which scenarios got playtested but didn't make the cut?

DW board is a double wide but what's a HW board? Half width?

Is this a boxed game, I am guessing with a price point of 150 bucks probably. Will the MMP Finnish module be needed to play this or is this a self contained module?

thanks

It's basically a Fort board.

BFP 165 AAR:
CPT Soroka commanded a battalion of the 245th Rifle Regiment and directed the
attack. 1LT Yemelyanov commanded the rifle company that attacked directly towards the
bunker, along with 7 of Haraborkin's T-28 tanks. The infantry approached the bunker’s right
and cleared the trenches. The Finns’ effort to retake the trenches with machinegun fire and hand
grenades was in vein; the Russians continued to advance toward the bunker through the
trenches. A 37L AT Gun was positioned in the bunker’s left covered arc. A T-28 approached and
after several shots, the AT Gun scored a direct hit and set it on fire. A Russian machinegun began
to fire through one of the gunports, striking LT Hockerstedt in the heart, killing him instantly.
The Russian infantry were able to climb on top of the bunker near the right covered arc.
Ericsson ordered the men inside to storm the roof. They collected 30 grenades and SGT Ingo
threw 15 on top so fast the Russians thought they were under mortar fire. They stormed the roof
and wiped out the Russians with SMGs. While the infantry battle raged back and forth around
Sj5, Russian tanks continued to attack defensive positions at close range. The Finns knocked
out 4 tanks. After several hours the Finnish infantry still held the bunker. Some of the Finnish
troops withdrew, while others held out vying to fight to death. They were killed by a 500-pound
charge that was placed the next day. CPT Soroka and 1LT Yemelyanov were both killed leading
from the front during the attack, and were awarded the Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet
Union. Although the Finns had put up a heroic defense, the Mannerheim Line was cracked.

MC looks really great: is it possible that it will be sold by LFT later in Europe? For me as a Finnish ASL player MC-preorder + VAT will cost about 240 USD...
