Here's another scenario.

Mannerheim doesn't dally around, and a joint Finnish-German assualt is able to cut the Murmansk Railroad, with the German 1942 offensives into the Soviet Union successfully taking Astrakhan and holding it throughout the winter. The Soviets lose access to most of their Lend Lease lines and the Caucasus Oil. They are forced to sue for peace in late 1943 or early 1944.
