Situation

The Cold War has been raging on for 5 decades, but is seemingly coming to an end with the instability of the Warsaw pact. With the East German withdrawal from the Pact a year before, the end is looming near.  During the first months of 1991, Premier Gorbachev was ousted from power by the military and other high ranking members of his party. This new government has increased pressure on Finland, and is seemingly attempting to replace the hole left in the Warsaw pact by the DDR, with a Finnish satellite state.   

Even with all the pressure and threats, the government and military are not intending to concede to the crumbling Soviet Union, ready to use all means necessary to maintain Finnish sovereignty.  Finland has been raising reservist units towards wartime strength in secret, and preparing for the worst. A special taskforce has been built up in the region of Archie, in the Gulf of Finland, to respond to unauthorized Soviet border crossings and subversive activities in the region, which has due to its strategic location, been the hotspot for them.
