Overview:

By May, Manstein had been reinforced, and wished to clear the Kerch Peninsula as a prelude to a full scale assault on Sebastapol. Using his German troops, and 2 Romanian divisions to attack, a small amphibious operation unhinged the Russian flank, and the usually tenacious Russians reeled back to Kerch, where at least some escaped across the Taman. This theatre was a disaster for the Russians, and Stalin's own representative, Lev Mekhlis, was sacked for his poor performance. . . .Aside from these details, the scenario is speculative. The primary desire was to use Minedogs, the Czech LT vz35 (known as the R-2 in Romanian service), the Russian Molotov Projector in the rural areas and an engagement between Axis Minor regulars versus Russian conscript troops.
