Beachhead at Ozereyka Bay - The Matrix Games version of East Front II

In an effort to cut off the seventh Army's retreat to the Iaman Peninsula, Stalin developed a plan to use the combined efforts of a land and seaborne operation. The Black Sea fleet would land a force composed of army and naval troops in the German's rear. This force would smash the coastal defenses at a favorable point and establish a beachhead. Later, this beachhead would be enlarged by follow-up units in a drive toward Volchya Vorota, and eventually link up with the 47th Army. The landing point chosen was the area around Ozereyka Bay. After heavy naval bombardment, the first Russian assault waves landed on the beach in front of Romanian coastal defense units, and formed up for the push towards the town of Glebovka, their first inland objective. With support from their light artillery and a few light tanks that had made it ashore, the Russian assault parties broke through the forward Romanian positions, and attacked the German Artillery positions of the Third Troop, 789 Battalion. However, the losses suffered were too great, and the Russian troops that reached the town of Glebovka amounted to little more than a platoon. Together with the Romanian units, the Germans dislodged the Russians from Glebovka and pushed them back towards the beaches. The defeat, like the one suffered by the Western Allies five months earlier at Dieppe, had been disastrous. (Based on the SL scenario bearing the same name)
