      Those trees run pretty thick, if I were a sniper I wouldn't set up in the middle of the thicket where my sight line is 30 meters at best all around. I'd be posted somewhere where I could lock down a good chunk of that cleared footpath where people are most likely to travel, like the 6th square from the top left.

      tips and tricks for surviving the coming collapse

          I'd also pick the one above, because WWII era finnish snipers had a tendency to nest in a tree.

                  Reminds me of an old joke:

                  During the winter war, a Soviet army is marching through a Finnish forest when a general hears a voice from over a hill shout: "one Finnish soldier is better than 10 Soviet soldiers!"

                  The general promptly send 10 soldiers to root out the voice, there is gunfire, and then silence.

                  After a few minutes, the voice shouts defiantly: "One Finnish soldier is better than a hundred Soviet soldiers!!"

                  The general sends a hundred men to remove the nuisance, there is a racket of gunfire, and then quiet.

                  The voice cries out loudly once more: "One Finnish soldier is better than a thousand Soviet soldiers!!"

                  Enraged, the general sends a thousand men charging over the hilltop to shut up that voice once and for all, an epic battle rages, and then quiet. After a few minutes, a gravely wounded Soviet crawls back over the hill and cries:

                  "It's a trap! There are two of them!!"

                          Strange - I can't reproduce that. It's the wiki page for Simo Häyhä.

                            Which is why the Soviets came in winter. Any other time of the year had been worse. Spring which is mating season, is something not even the Soviets wanted their soldiers to experience. Summer where the Finnish snipers will be hunting for food for their youngs. And lastly fall, where that year's new Finnish snipers leaves their nests.

                                Calling Russian troops "orcs" is already quite dehumanizing, which is a source of conflicts as it is.

                                But really, Finnish army was well-suited as is to resist Russian invasion by intimate knowledge of the location and a mighty network of civil and military defenses, but now with NATO support it's like a Viet Cong on steroids.

                                  During the Soviet invasion of Finland, snipers paid a crucial role in fending off the attack. Knowing the terrain and unique geographic features, Finnish soldiers were much more effective in battle, and snipers even more so.

                                  For this reason, the invasion didn't reach its ultimate goal despite Soviet Union having massive military advantage. Still, some territories went incorporated into the USSR.

                                    I call them orcs because of their inhumane behavior on the field of conflict.

                                    And yeah, it'd be real, real bad for any poor ivan crossing that border.

                                      Are they all inhumane, or are the commanders and some of the most brutal soldiers?

                                      A lot of people got into the battlefield against their will, and among those who signed the contract, most did it for the money and not out of bloodlust.

                                      Dehumanizing the enemy is leaving them little room to defect or change their views.

                                        just the ones committing war crimes and stealing appliances, but unfortunately they're indistinguishable from the rest.

                                        anyone on that side that wants to survive this better find a way to surrender.

                                          Those trees run pretty thick, if I were a sniper I wouldn't set up in the middle of the thicket where my sight line is 30 meters at best all around. I'd be posted somewhere where I could lock down a good chunk of that cleared footpath where people are most likely to travel, like the 6th square from the top left.

                                          tips and tricks for surviving the coming collapse

                                          That's not a footpath, it's a clearing or a small road even. You can't see the footpaths in winter, they're about a foot wide if that.

                                          30 meters "at best"? Nah bruv. Maybe in the summer for that specific place, but as there's a ton of birch there and such an open place, it's probably a photo from the edge of a clearing on the side of a field or something. You don't get birch in most of the forests, it's just pine, and pine doesn't really have branches on the low part of trees. So in a pine forest, you'd see way further.

                                          tips and tricks for surviving the coming collapse

                                          Teaching Finns how to fight in wintery forests? We've a saying for that; "älä yritä opettaa isääs nussimaa".
