Chapter I - Stalin Line
10th July 1941
Kingisepp
Gentlemen, we have reached the former border of the Soviet Union. After tearing through the occupied baltic states, we will now bring the war to Russian soil.
The border is protected by the so-called "Stalin Line". This "line" is in disrepair and mainly consists of some isolated strongpoints. Still, we will have to breach it fast, if we want to reach St. Petersburg before winter.
The strongpoints before you guard a bridge over the Luga river, in the small town of Kingisepp.
Katherinenkathedrale in Kingisepp
The ultimate goal is the destruction of the two bunker complexes, but first we have to control the bridge. Our scouts report that the enemy is hastily readying the bunkers. We believe that enemy forces in Kingisepp are planning to delay our advance to earn time for the construction of more defenses.
Advance fast: We want the town to be cleared of Russian resistance by the end of the day.
Objectives:
- Deploy your core force and all support forces in the deployment area
- Capture the Kingisepp bridge
- Clear the town of Russian resistance
- Destroy as many Russian defenders as possible to keep them from manning the defensive works int he next scenario
- Capture objective areas for repair points
Optional:
There is a second bridge north, but according to our information it is not well suited for armoured vehicles. Still, if you have forces to spare, it might be worth checking out. The main bridge in Kingisepp remains the main focus of our attack!
