Jack Crossman and his hardy band of malcontents find their own ways to harass the enemy in the hills and valleysaround the city. Russian sharpshooters mysteriously disappear as crossman and his men chip away at the enemy's morale. But these foxhunts serve merely as a warm-up to the British attack on the Redan, a fortification guardingSebastopol. The British attack, when it does come, is ill-planned and ill- advised, ending in total diaster and forcing Crossman to bear witness to the wholesale massacre of his fellow soldiers. Two month after this hard-hitting failure, French and Sardinian forces foil a massive Russian counterattack and Sebastopol is left to the allies." -from the dj.
