Battle of Odessa

[AngrySwan]

Hi terminator,

Also Leningrad, but there ships can be simulated by ML-20 guns.

In Tallinn the Soviets could use ships and then we would have a new scenario with different deadlines. (Which may be good for Army Group North because you get points for every move so the more moves the more resources you get.)

In Panzer Corps Afrika campaign they have untakeable Tobruk so Rommel cannot take it in 1941 (which is historically correct). A not-so-easy-to-take Tallinn could also be a part of a later version. In my 1941 campaign I assume that Leningrad cannot be taken easily so there is no choice between Leningrad and Tikhvin, you have the choice buttons but whatever choice you make brings you to Tikhvin.

The German heavy cruiser Admiral Scheer also provided fire support to the German forces in Estonia… yes and historically the Soviets never destroyed Army Group North/Courland, it still held the line until the last days of the war.

For summary, the list of the scenarios where ships could be:

Soviet navy :
- Odessa
- Tallinn
- Leningrad

German navy :
- Courland (1.09)

Hi terminator,

the engine supports landings as well, its just not used due to lack of time to include naval stuff in general. So as soon as we have navy, you could add the occupation of the Baltic island in 1941 by the Germans or the Soviet amphibian operations like on the Crimea (Kerch).

But i fear a lot o patience is needed until that point, so many other things are on the list before that.

Hi Ronald,

The game can simulate landing operations even without navy -
- The attacker hase some units who have already landed; they are on the coast at the beginning of move 1.
- These units must advance on move 1 and capture a deployment hex.
- After they have done that the attacker can deploy more of of his units.

The capture of Moonsund/Saaremaa can be done with ground and air units; if there were some naval engagements they can be added later.
