I have tried to start up a campaign as Russian, and it really wasn't that difficult. In two days, 24th and 25th I cleared the 4 south maps and 2 additional maps north, plus I advanced a BG up two maps from the Ihantala map it self. So the 25th I am in contact with Finnish light Tank BG up north.
In my opinion there is a big difference playing Finnish or Russian in single player. when playing Russian its all about speed, just like GJS, move inland and leave the start maps to the following Bgs. Especially in this Sub-mod, since the more maps you capture the less the Finnish has to manoeuvre on. I have only played until half-in on the 25th, but already I have captured 6 maps and are fighting three additional ones.
However, playing this as Russian against a Human opponent, could be interesting, don't think it will be easy at all for the Russians.
The situation the end of 24th, as Russian:
As pictured, my Russian Bgs has been able to capture the North Victory-locations on most of the South maps, thus I have moved them up and the Finnish Bgs in the south are left behind for the next wave of reinforcements.
The Bg deployment on the maps are actually different when playing Russian than when playing Finnish. There a are lot more meeting-engagements than when playing Finnish.
The day after, half way into the 25th, the situation is as follows:
This is my most northen advancing BG, the Russian 178th, with its ISU-152, bringing superior firepower straight to the assaulting units at the frontline. It has carried out its planned intention, which was to seek out the Finnish armour so it either can be destroyed or halted until the rest of my forces clean up the rear.
The Justilanselka-map, - the 178th take the first brigde after a fire-mission and smokescreen. On the road in the south, two ISU-152 awaits orders to advance. Infantry hidden in the forrest on each side of the road leading to the brigde.

Has anyone tried to play this short 15-day campaign H2H?
