Bombing Sevastapol

The development team behind the award-winning games Decisive Campaigns: From Warsaw To Paris and Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive year and theater of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue simulates the German drive to Stalingrad and into the Caucasus of the summer of 1942, as well as its May preludes (2nd Kharkov offensive, Operation Trappenjagd) and also the Soviet winter counter-offensive (Operation Uranus) that ended with the encirclement of 6th Army in Stalingrad and the destruction of the axis minor armies. With many improvements including the PBEM++ system, this is a release to watch for wargamers!

Bombing Sevastapol

In 1.05, is there any point? Unlike Kerch, it seems to auto-repair completely each turn.

In my last pbem (started with 1.05b) I needed to bomb Sewastopol to zero to reduce the supply flowing into this city, as my opponent had sent all his fighters south to contest the sea supply line. My observation was that Sewastopol by no means repaired fully, only from zero to about 350/1000. This means that only a significantly reduced amount of supply reached the soviet troops at Sewastopol, so do this for a few turns and you should see the readiness levels of those starving red troops start to drop, which means way less losses for you once you start your ground attacks there.

If you see Sewastopol fully repaired at the start of your turn, then you haven't used enough KG to reduce the harbour to zero. For my initial run in my game I had used 5 KG, after that 2-3 each turn.
The biggest threat for mankind is ignorance.

Strange. I bombed with 4-5 KGs every turn and enesured at zero; and back it came to 1000 each turn!
