Battle of Kuuterselkä is correct.

First picture was to display the defensive line of VT-line. Picture was taken near Kuuterselkä, so it was quite accurate.

Second picture showed the biggest clue which would have solved the whole deal right away if you knew what to research. Sturms were deployed into battle for the first time during Kuuterselkä counterattack during the night of 14th-15th of June 1944. This particular stug in the picture was destroyed during this battle. If you would have searched the web for the vehicle (PS.531-1) you would have found out the battles in which it took part. And as it only took part in one battle and was destroyed in it, it was a dead giveaway.

Third picture shows finns leaving the battlefield, defeated. As the russians punched a gap to the finnish defenses and kept pouring in at Kuuterselkä, the Sturm counterattack accompanied by finnish jägers tried to contain the breakthrough and therefore stop the attack. But the enemy had expanded their bridgehead all the way to Kivennapa (this is why I said you are close with your answer) and the breakthrough was in no means of containment anymore.

So indeed, the battle was about the breakthrough of VT-line at Kuuterselkä which then expanded to Kivennapa, Vammelsuu and Sahankylä.

Other hints;

- Well T-34/76 was the main battle tank of the Red Army during the battle. Of course, this is rather general hint. But it was to aim those who wanted to guess into the way that this battle involved a lot of tanks, which it did.

- Battle continued during the nighttime as said above. Finnish counterattack to maintain the breakthrough happened during the night.

- World Record was one other "free pass" to this game. As it was the battle where Sturm gunner Olof Lagus scored the World Record of 4 enemy tanks destroyed within 30 seconds.


Also, those who saw Tali-Ihantala movie should be familiar with this rather awesome scene from the start of the film where the finns counterattack Kuuterselkä with Sturms. :)

Fuch's turn.

I on the other side agree with the suggestion. But on the other side I think this belongs to very talented community mappers. Let the devs dust off the sands of Africa for good and let them come back to it if necessary (bug fixing, balance tweaks, whatever) and then return to developed it further in the future if they see need for such. I agree that I would still love to see at least one italian map, french map and american map made for NA in the future, but that could aswell land in the hands of talented community mappers. Because devs will look at the maps if they are made well and are historically accurate recreations of the battles.

No. TBH, even "Tali" is too big for a simple answer. But it isnt Tali.

Not Tali-Ihantala. And believe me, I would never accept such wide term as Tali-Ihantala as correct answer even if my question was indeed from that campaign. It is way too big battle (not only length but different areas too) to classify it only under the names Tali and Ihantala. Just a hint for the future. ;)

OK here goes. Theres no real pictures of this battle, so I have improvise and just give you a lot of clues.

Location check; look for clues.


This is an actual picture from the area itself. But it is not the main scene of the battle, but it provides you with enough hints as you need.


Notice, this is not from the actual battle either... (lol)


Only known picture of the battle, finns on the move. They are leaving the battlefield.


Hints;
- T-34/76 was the most used vehicle during the battle
- Battle continued during night
- World Record

I intentionally give very little clues (because theres no pictures to provide) as I believe this is very easy one to solve if you do just a teeny bit of research. :)

I find it a bit unfair that other Rare titles aside from Donkey Kong Country trilogy are not purchaseable from the Wii Store. Not that I wouldnt buy them for Wii because I still have my N64 (yes, even plugged in so its not collecting dust, gentlemen!), but I find it a big shame those who want to enjoy those games again cant do that because Rare is Microsoft exclusive.  :(
