Resulting battle may vary greatly each try. War has many faces, nothing is guaranteed. You're only one of many cogs in the war machine controlled by HETMAN, so do not expect any special treatment. Those battles aren't player-centric in any way. One time you may found yourself in the middle of fierce firefight immediatelly, another time you may be kept as reserve long time before you see any action. You may die in the first few minutes or survive to the end without a single shot fired, but with few clicks in the legs. Both extremes are not very probable, but possible and perfectly OK - just do your part or act on your own. Create own war stories."

"The Battle of Olhava[en.wikipedia.org] occurred during the Lapland War[en.wikipedia.org] on 28 of September 1944. [...] It was for the first time that retreating Germans and advancing Finnish troops opened full-scale fire against each other and casualties were the first of the Lapland War. On the previous day, the earliest skirmish between German and Finnish troops took place in Pudasjärvi. Finnish troops were given the task to take over the intact Olhavanjoki, in excess of 45 meters, a long railway and road bridge over the river Olhava. Their plan was to flank and cross the river further away from the bridge, followed by a second smaller group who would take the bridge over with a high-speed direct assault. The Germans were aware of the possible intentions of a Finnish attack, wich was planned to start in the morning of 29 of September."
