The final Siege Imagine your self as a German General in the Crimea, Russia 1942. Your task, the capture of Sevastopol, the heaviest fortified city in that time. The Russians dug in deep, supported by large batteries of heavy guns such as Gorki I and II. Naval bombardments are a constant danger for your army, fighting the way to the port city. Before the main attack was launched, almost every artillery gun and airplane had been brought up by the Germans, trying to blast the heavy fortifications into rubble and dust. The battle began in November 1941. At the 2nd of June 1942, General von Manstein launched his final siege of Sevastopol. This operation ended successfully on the 6th of july 1942. The Germans and Romanians lost more then 35.000 men and the Soviet troops suffered 50.000 dead and 95.000 prisoners. |

Operation Störfang At Eichenbaum's Headquarters we have started to build the area of Sevasotopol as 52 scenarios for Combat Mission 'Barbarossa to Berlin'. Each scenario consists of 9 square kilometers of (scaled) landscape, containing batteries, bunkers, pillboxes, trenches, rivers, walls etc... Note : While you are playing one mission, the next could be in development. We can't always keep op the speed with which are advanced players can finish these battles. Be patient and regular check out our website for new releases. Often you need to refresh this page to view the changes. Before you dowload : Operation Störfang is undergoing some major changes. We are developing a new system to play this operation. The current interface stops with the missions A1, B1 and A2. |

Additional Information Access code : On a certain point in this battle you may have captured enough ground to receive the access code. This access code can only be seen if you have the landmarks turned 'ON'. Showing or hiding landmarks can be done with the keys : [SHIFT]+[L] This access code gives you the possibility to move to an other grid (area). Most of the access codes can be found on main roads or open spaces on the edges of areas. You can abort the mission at once and move to another area, or you finish the battle you have started. Leaving the area while forces are still fighting does not mean that a cease fire request is given. An other commanding officer will take over your mission. You will be transported to an other area (of choice) an start a new mission there. Aborting a mission can be done with the keys [ALT]+[A]. IMPORTANT : Before you take any actions after receiving the access code we advise you to 'save' your game. Write your access code down, losing it can cost you a lot of time playing the battle again. |
