CC_s_15 - Landing at Merküla

Merküla, Estonia, 14 February 1944:

Russian General Leonid Govorov of the Leningrad Front was determined to make a landing in the Gulf of Finland behind the German lines at Narva. He ordered the 260th Independent Naval Brigade to make an amphibious assault into the rear of the Germans in Narva. The 260th was an elite unit specifically trained for this type of assault.

Twenty-six vessels would transport the 260th and land it several kilometers behind the German lines at the town of Merküla. Unfortunately, for the marines, Estonian counter-intelligence had predicted just such an attack and the Germans had prepared a defense.

Environmental Conditions:
* Moderate with No Wind
* Ground Snow

Special:
* Russian Fatigue is Low (2)
* German Fatigue is Low (2)
* Some buildings are Rubbled
