In Karelia, deep behind enemy lines, Hale is reunited with Leo. Together, they must battle their way through occupied territory to reach the Mannerheim Line. Once the pair of snipers reach the line, they will have to devise a way to sneak through the Soviet 7th Army whose forces stretch across the entire Karelian Isthmus. To succeed in their mission the pair will have to slip through the one hundred and thirty thousand invaders assaulting the Mannerheim line. If successful, the pair will face an even greater danger, friendly fire from their fellow Finns as they cross through the no man’s land that separates the two armies. Will Hale and Leo survive?

Outside of Suomassalmi, on the Raate Road, Pekka, Kivi, and the men of the 27th Regiment’s E company have the unenviable task of holding a little piece of the road against the overwhelming forces of the Soviet Union’s 44th Motorized Rifle Division. If they can find a way to succeed, and hold off the hordes of attacking Soviets, they will buy valuable time. The time is needed for Colonel Siilasvuo and Finnish 27th Regiment to finish off the Soviet 163rd division currently surrounded in Suomassalmi. If they fail in their assignment, the surviving forces of the 27th will be caught in-between two Soviet divisions guaranteeing the unit’s destruction, and the loss of Central Finland. Can Pekka and Kivi hold?
