Battles of Suomussalmi part 2 by Lumi  
 

This scenario is a simulation and does not have any political message.

So for happened
Yesterday, 23th you, dogs of war volunteers arrived to Tank Nut's training camp, and got introduced to your commanding officer - Sergeant Cliff, who is responsible of your training. Right away on first day, after hours of driving trough narrow bumpy roads of Finland you were equipped with standard set of clothing and equipment, including personal weapon, that Finnish army uses. And with no second to rest, put into short, but intensive athletic course training, where not only your physical shape, but as well brains and obedience were briefly tested. Some of you performed well, some less. Though all in all after all the sweat and mud in your foreheads Sergeant was happy enough to give you first feeling to old and rugged training gear at hand.

During driving / commanding training your skills as a driver, and commander. As obedience, both in driving and communication were tested. 
- In driving you were tasked to be able to follow, other vehicles, and commanders orders both in forward, and as in reversing blindly with commanders guidance.
- As commander you were expected to dutifully follow what others did, and report your arrivals to turns while in colum formation. And to be able to guide your driver while he reverses vehicle blindly.

After this you were tasked to perform refueling and daily maintenance to all these vehicles. And naturally were more than dead tired after all the traveling. - Near the evening, you were moved to a small rugged building that looked suspiciously much like a school, and that would serve as your quarters during stay in Finland. Not a luxury but good enough...  it was after all 22:00, near midnight already.

April 24th of 2014
After a early wake up on 06:00 AM, you were fed in school restaurant, and then transported back to tank nuts training camps class room to lessons of.

- How to operate Finnish Army vehicle T-55 MBT (T-62)
- Safety regulations in maintenance, and use
- Where all the key components, controls are located to.
- How to use vehicle systems reliability
- How to handle ammunition, load main gun, coax, and how operate weapon and related systems.

In the maintenance halls you had short time able to take good look at these old rugged tanks, and their interiors. To get rough flesh memory of how to actually operate these vehicles.
Shortly after that you were commanded to outdoors as Ural truck was parked next to tanks, and all of you were put into heavy work of lifting and loading live training rounds to these tanks, until ammo boxes in the truck got empty.

Once this demanding task was completed. You were given short break from heavy work and given change to eat refreshing meal from local field kitchen. 

Offered menu was Pea-soup, with green peas, pieces of carrots, and little amount of small brown pieces that perhaps could be called meat?

Once meal was eaten you were told to move to field in front of hangars and to wait Sergeant Cliff to arrive, he would be arranging your training for rest of the day. (ACTUAL MISSION will begin from this moment, and is still unknown to you.)
