The Boys rifle and the Lahti L-39 were both anti-tank rifles that both shared the nickname of the
Elephant Gun
due to their size, large calibre and heavy recoil.

Rising Sun
Rising Sun brings you into the Soviet Union’s wars with the Japanese and Finns on its borders in 1939. Take command of the Red Army’s tank forces, infantry or cavalry forces as you throw the Japanese back into Manchuria or fight the stubborn Finns to expand the Soviet border.

While the Boys anti-tank rifle was of British origin, the Lahti L-39 was a Finnish design. Both weapons were capable of penetrating the thinly armoured tanks that roamed the battlefield during the early stages of World War Two but as the conflict progressed so did tank design and the anti-tank rifle quickly became obsolete.

The Close-defence Rifle Teams
The lack of anti-tank weapons in the army has forced the formation of infantry
Lähitorjunta
(anti-tank) or Close-defence teams. These are armed with molotov cocktails, explosives, and rifles, and trained to destroy tanks in close assault. Only the bravest men serve in these teams.
