Crimea 1941. The History:
Sevastapol, the main object of the campaign, was surrounded by German forces and assaulted on 30 October 1941. German troops were repulsed by a Soviet counterattack. Later, many troops evacuated from Odessa contributed to the defense of Sevastopol. The Germans then began an encirclement of the city. Other attacks on 11 November and 30 November, in the eastern and southern sections of the city, failed. German forces were then reinforced by several artillery regiments, one of which included the railway gun Schwerer Gustav. Another attack on 17 December was repulsed at the last moment with the help of reinforcements, and Soviet troops landed on the Kerch peninsula the day after Christmas, to relieve Sevastopol. The Soviet forces remained on the peninsula until a 9 April German counterattack. They held on for another month before being eliminated on 18 May. With the distraction removed, German forces renewed their assault on Sevastopol, penetrating the inner defensive lines on 29 June. Soviet commanders had been flown out or evacuated by submarine towards the end of the siege, and the city surrendered on 4 July 1942, although some Soviet troops held out in caves outside of the city until the 9th.
Frame 2: The Soviets are attempting to resupply their besieged trapped in Sevastopol. The "Hero City" has been under siege and holding out for months. Supplies, equipment and manpower is dangerously low. Morale is dropping. The successful arrival of the Soviet convoy into P61 is vital to the continued survival of Soviet forces in the hero city.
The Soviets must take control of C168 and move it to P61.
The Luftwaffe and Romanians must sink this convoy before it arrives in port.
