Description provided by Riccardo Masini - WLOG on YouTube:
Game publisher Princeps Games has recently fulfilled a Kickstarter project: Freezing Inferno, a light (but not-so-light, actually!) wargame about the 1939 Winter War between USSR and Finland. An unique combination of modern presentation, streamlined rules and classical hex and counter game mechanics capable of appealing to both the newcomer making his or her first steps into the hobby, as well as to the veteran grognard looking for a less engaging rules system, yet still having a good historical experience. Let’s find out!

About Freezing Inferno, from BoardGameGeek:
Freezing Inferno is an Operational level 1 or 2 players board-wargame set in World War II covering the 1939-1940 conflict between the USSR and Finland. It is a hex & counter wargame with unique battle mechanism, a lot of strategy, some diplomacy and a number of features specific to the harsh winter conditions of the setting.
Freezing Inferno is medium level complexity and lasts from 3 to 6 hours. Variable setup and random cards bringing effects to the game offers replayability.
Freezing Inferno is a game for one or two players - one player controls Finland, while the other player controls the USSR.
In order for the USSR to win, it must occupy 2 of the 3 Finnish Key Cities (marked with an asterisk) and hold them until the beginning of the next round, while also controlling at least 5 of its 7 Home Cities. If this is not achieved by the end of the 8th round, the winner of the game is the player who controls Finland.
