Finished it, had enough turns to play out the battle. 35 was not that much after all

Quick report
I Attacked both bridges, securing them(bridge to the north damaged by arty but still useable) with a company of infantry each, supported by engineers, extra machine guns and a panzer platoon plus lots of artillery.

Southern force took the main bridge supported by heavy artillery and once a foothold was established, the attack continued south, taking the church and the school, forces started being too stretched, then i gave up the advance for some 3 turns to wait for the northern force to create a diversion, hopefully drawing some defenders from the pary office.

After taking the bridge, the northern force regrouped and made a dash through the woods to attack the barracks and the grain silo, arriving by turn 22 or 23, when a russian counterattack started, moving towards the main bridge, but were held by mortar fire and a mixed platoon of infantry and engineers. once the attack broke, northern force pursued the routers into the grain silo, where they tried to stand, but were crushed by the nearly untouched infantry company, the barracks were abandoned once the counterattack began, only scouts left to defend it, it was taken with no casualties.

My force of a depleted battalion strenght succesfully wiped out a russian battalion from the city with moderate casualties, they could have been avoided if the battle plan wasn't too ambitious and the attack not so hasty. This battle shows the importance of arty in an assault and that the german superior training has beaten the russian numbers.

Very nice scenario

Chapter I Stalin Line

11th July 1941

Kingisepp

Our troops have successfully taken the bridge and cleared the town. Except for a few deserters, no Russians escaped into the strongpoints.
When we investigated the northern bridge, we found it wired and guarded by some engineers, ready to blow it up. However, we managed to capture it intact and can use the area in the north as a jumping off point for the next phase of the battle.
When our forces rummaged through the captured barracks, they found some unused Russian ordinance, including some large calibre mortars and two prototype recoilless guns. Using them will make taking the fortifications a lot easier.

Two strong points are overlooking the town. We will have to take out both to free the road to Leningrad. Our recoinnassance reports that the Russians hastily layed some wire and scattered mines during the night, but all in all the fortifications are in bad shape and outdated. Still, they are not to be taken lightly, so a company of specialised bunker busters, equipped with smgs and flame rockets, was assigned to your force. Since our troops are finding more and more bunkers in the area, they are in high demand. They will be reassigned tomorrow, so make the most of them.

It is up to you how you tackle the bunkers. The safest method would be taking out one complex today and the second one tomorrow. You may freely chose which one to attack first. If you feel cocky you may split up your forces and try to take out both at once. In that case the next chapter will start one scenario sooner.

Objectives:

-Deploy your foces inside the deployment zone indicated by the map text lines
- Take one of the two bunker installations

Optional:
- Take both strong points at once

So now to the technical stuff:
Sadly I made a mistake when setting up the campaign frame. You will have to set the victory exit points to 2 for Chapter 1 Scen A and 3 for Chapter 1 Scen B etc. Set it to the same number on all outcomes. Sorry for the inconvenience. Other than that, add the new scneario to the campaign and set you support and repair points to -1. As I wrote before, you will receive your repair points at the beginning of the next chapter.
So far you have earned 170 repair points, which si the best possible outcome for the scenario:

13 captured victory locations = 130 points
Optional objectives:
Captured the northern bridge = 25 points
Secret objectives:
Captured the barracks = 15 Points + support troops

I Wanted to join your campaign but it seems you are playing against AI ?

[iCaMpWiThAWP]

It's the usual way we play it, if you're thinking of a PBEM campaign you could post up in the "Opponents wanted" section to find some players, there are some other wargaming forums and clubs that play the WinSP games such as "The Blitz" or a similar name where you'll probably find lots of players :P

[Ts4EVER]

Yeah it is vs AI only. BTW IcampwithAWP how far are you with the new scenario?

turn 7, advancing really slow on the assault, will probably not have time to secure the whole map.

You don't need to control all the map, if you get both victory points and destroy most of the bunkers you have done enough.
