Ryhmä Raappana

Ryhmä Raappana is a Finnish Infantry division in Steel Division II: Fate of Finland. Ryhmä Raappana (meaning Group Raappana) was an improvised Finnish formation named after its commanding general, which covered all the troops defending the strategic Ilomantsi sector. At its core was the 21st Infantry Brigade, bolstered with cavalry and border units, and a combined detachment of Sissi special forces.

Lacking tanks, Group Raappana relies heavily on a variety of infantry: regular riflemen, larger cavalry squads, assault Jääkäri, engineers, close-quarters specialists, and even penal troops. The battlegroup can also count on very strong artillery support and aggressive recon units. The Finnish Air Force is well represented, with its motley assortment of British, Dutch, German, French and captured Soviet planes.

The Ryhmä Raappana is very powerful in defense and on maps that favor close combat but will have a tougher time against armored opponents.
