June 6th, 2020, The USA begins a preemptive operation against Finland with a Carrier Task Force from the south and with combined forces from the north through Norway.
The struggle against technologically more advanced enemy task force takes its toll in the Finnish ranks and puts the sisu of the young men and women of the nation to the ultimate test where you either master yourself or die.
While the Finns struggle to keep their morals up and continue defying what looks like a certain defeat the US Marines serving their country find themselves in what is almost like the bastard child of Vietnam. Even though it is late spring and conditions in Lappland are favorable for the operation the hit & run tactics and mines of the enemy take their toll on the american troops as well. There is no safe place to be. The enemy is watching you.
The story will not take the typical good/evil style of telling, but instead just depict the actions and emotions of the troops on the field and also the larger scale of events in an attempt to create a plausible alternate future.
