Tallinn

**Tallinn** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

General %playername%, the advance of Army Group North has reached the former Estonian capital of Tallinn. They've managed to sever all land approaches to the port, but they have requested our forces to finish the siege.

**Primary Objective: Capture all 4 Tallinn Victory Hexes.**

**Bonus Objective: Sink 12 Soviet Ships before Tallinn is secured.**

**Bonus Objective: Wagner's Halftrack Survives the Battle.**

Herr General, intelligence has detected no major build-up of enemy aircraft forces in the area.

Hmm... I guess the devastation we have inflicted on the Red Air Force is really starting to take effect. That is good news for us, because it look like Tallinn could be a serious obstacle for us to crack.

We should probably expect an abundance of entrenched defenses, so I highly recommend extra artillery and infantry deployments to break the enemy lines.

Hauptmann, we have also had many reports of increased Soviet naval activity in the region. Could be more reinforcements arriving?

No... more likely they are attempting to evacuate, but it is impossible to tell. Either way, we should make a point to disrupt this activity.

And to help, our Finnish allies have lent us their aid. This squadron of patrol boats are ready for your orders, and should be useful to detect and harass any Soviet transports.

One more thing: I've arranged for a few more mobile air bases to be available for this mission. I hope they continue to prove useful.

If we can deploy at least one of these airbases to this pennisula, it should give us quite a strong position to launch airstrikes from.

Meanwhile, I'll be on the field helping relay your orders once again, mein General.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Mein General, the Soviet grasp on the Baltic States has been obliterated.

The only Soviet forces that slipped our grasp were the few ships that managed to escape to Leningrad, but the overwhelming majority of their fighting units in the region have been destroyed or have surrendered.

Even so, the enormous distance of our advance has begun to create it's own problems. So much so that High Command is considering a change of orders for Field Marshal von Leeb and Army Group North.

I don't know exactly what that entails just yet, but it will probably result in another request for our assistance.

If you feel our forces are up for more siege warfare, we can probably sit tight and await orders. Otherwise, I will arrange for other reserves to move up to reinforce Army Group North while High Command decides where best to shuffle our forces.

**Historically, the Siege of Tallinn was a defeat for the USSR similar to the British experience at Dunkirk.**

**Unlike Dunkirk, however, the evacuation from Tallinn would prove to be much bloodier for the USSR. Dozens of ships were sunk in the evacuation, costing the lives of many thousands of Soviet troops.**

* Mein General, our salvage crews have come back with a progress report on all of the Soviet airfields we have overrun. Although the overwhelming majority of enemy aircraft on the ground have been destroyed, there were a few that we actually captured intact. I am told the designs are not exactly cutting edge, but perhaps you can find some use for them.
