Overview:

As the German Panzers thrust deep into the Caucasus mountains, resistance stiffened. A Russian bridgehead near Maramadag was a thorn in the side of 3rd Armor Division. German infantry was ordered to crush it. Their attack failed with heavy losses. Kleist, resigned to the Russian presence, withdrew 3rd Armor’s infantry and installed the Romanian 2nd Mountain Division to contain the Soviet forces. The Romanians however, not content to be relegated to a mere holding operation, acted aggressively to wipe out the annoying bridgehead.

2026-01-01(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Romanian win2 hrsDan's Russians broke the MMG and that allowed the Romanians to swarm him. Near the end, the Romanians had taken a bunch of prisoners and only a 4-4-7 with the mortar. This dude had 7 shot rate of fire that KIA'd the 10-3 and 1-1/2 4-4-7's. It very nearly undid the Romanian attack at the very end. Game ended with a single 4-4-7 reduced to a 2-4-7 in the CC and held in MELEE and therefore not good order for a Romanian win.
