Missionbriefing A2 :

<hr>

Mission : Rumänische Torte

Date : June the 12th

Place : Sevastopol Region SE

Grid : A2

Move : South to North

German Command : General von Manstein

Force : Part of the 22nd Infanteriedivision and the 7th Romanian Heavy Artillery Regiment

<hr>

Please sit down Herr Oberst and let me explain the situation. The Romanian friends launched an attack on enemy positions while you were carrying out your mission with Hauptman Swartzekätze. They tried to penetrate the area by advancing onto the hill from out the south side, close to the captured runway in A1. Due to an heavy counter attack they were forced to retreat. Because of the great importance of this area we will support the Romanians with a 2nd assault from the East.

This operation must be carried out by the book to ensure a successful clearance of this hill and the harbor near the Charnaya river in the North. The road '15(12)A' is of great strategic importance for us. It leads us to Inkerman and the coastal batteries sited near the harbor of Sevastopol city.

I have arranged a few rounds of a small railway artillery gun for you. Von Manstein was not happy with the delay here so he signed those orders right away. Together with some detachments of the 7th Romanian Artillery Regiment you will have the force to break the line and punch right through the heart of the Russian pocket on this side of the Charnaya river.

Our intelligence department has a full report about your troops and the environment.

Good luck Herr Oberst.

A2 Intelligence Report

<HR>

A Romanian Cavalry company tried to advanced from the Airfield in A1 to the North. They got under heavy artillery fire. We believe that there's a forward observer nearby who has access to the coastal battery Gorki II. These guns are huge, Herr Oberst. A single grenade can wipe out a complete company in the field. That's why you're advised to spread out your forces and stay out of sight as long as possible.

Your Blitzkrieg attack must be carried out in 4 waves. First, you scout the area with your Spah* and Aufklärungs Truppen. Clear objective A from all enemy resistance. Objective A has already been soften up with artillery attacks carried out by Romanian mortars and howitzers. Second, you launch an attack on soft Russian targets like infantry and artillery with your Aufklärungs Truppen and a PanzerGrenadieren Company. Try to advance to the North but be careful not to get involved into tank battles. In the 3rd wave you can launch the full scale attack and take out the tanks on your path. You'll be supported by an Artillery and Anti Tank section. A Pioniere Company will be supplied to support the PanzerGrenadieren. The 4th wave will have to start with a massive artillery bombardment on the Harbor to break the spirit of the Russian troops who will be certainly be reinforced as soon as you break the first lines of defense. By the time you'll be able to make the last wave it will be dark. Our Pioniere Truppen will be certainly very successful in clearing the Harbor after the bombardments.

3 Stuka's are on the way to support your attack. We still haven't managed to take out the Xepcohec Airfield. So you have to be careful for counter air attacks.

Battle 1 - Initially hard but got the first objective

Battle 2 - skipped the night battle, the thought of large scale combat in he woods put me off

Battle 3 - Came up foggy (thankfully Mac, ATI and fog work) Took the hill at the back with a long flanking manouevre and the bridge and defended them. Avoided any other serious trouble.

Battle 4 - just started it and got the code. Can see the last objective should finish by tomorrow.

Cheers a great map with plenty of ciggy and coffee breaks between turns :D Good idea to raise the number of turns in each battle

All our time will end up in the development of the new interface and missions. I'll not be able to keep this topic bumping. Got the impression that some weren't that happy with this topic flashing in their eyes anyway.

Some asked me who Maj Soshtokovich is. I don't know! He's not with Eichenbaum.org.

Greetings from The Netherlands !

Met vriendelijke groet,

Nils
