| Introduction |
|---|
|
The first Soviet amphibious landing of the Great Patriotic War would take place behind the left or eastern flank of the Romanian Fourth Army. Most action had been taking place on the western side of the perimeter, and the Soviet command hoped that the Romanian divisions in this relatively quiet sector had become complacent over the previous weeks. A parachute detachment would conduct an airborne landing to help disrupt the Romanian rear areas. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
The Marines stormed ashore and took the Romanians by surprise. With the aid of strong gunfire support from cruisers and destroyers hovering just offshore, the Marines quickly established a beachhead and took control of the coastal road. The Romanians had little choice but to pull back from their hard-won gains in front of Fontanka. |

Since the Romanians were split on their defense, the Soviet Commander chose to attack/land on the Eastern part of the map, thereby keeping the Romanians from defending the town (which sat on the Western road) and forcing the Romanians to quickly try to reinforce the Eastern side of the map. This shortly turned into a fiasco as the Russians mopped up the badly scattered and unprepared Romanians. Since the scenario was cast during the night, the Russians didn't want to use their Arty or their mortars for fear of friendly fire. It really wasn't needed. |
