Overview:

With the arrival of decent spring weather, the Soviets launched an offensive at the start of May into Romania using the combined weight of both the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts. German and Romanian forces had more than held their own during some April battles, but this massed attack immediately put the Romanian Army on the ropes. Panzergrenadier-Division “Grossdeutschland”, in an effort to stem the Russian tide, was called upon to serve in a familiar role – as “fire brigade.”
Attacker: Russian (42nd Guards Rifle Division)

2021-08-08(A) César Moreno vs Carl Russian winRomanian defensive setup looked smart but they lacked the firepower to stop the high-morale soviets. My guys steamrolled the defense; when german reinforcement came there was little they could do to stop me.
2021-03-12(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites Romanian / German winMy Romanians were able to delay the Russians for 4 turns. The Russians would get 5 buildings but ran out of time to get the 2 needed on Board w. So my Romanians/Germans would get the win.
2020-12-12(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Gleb Paskevich Romanian / German win
2020-06-06(D) Raoul Duke vs BS Romanian / German winRomanians successfully fell back through the Board u village to form a second defense line centered on building wX1. Here, the Soviets encountered withering fire from both the Romanians and their German allies. When a flanking thrust through the fields was shot to pieces, the Soviet attack fell apart.
2020-05-28(A) Raoul Duke vs BS Russian winA forward defense will prove catastrophic for the Axis. The Soviets can force their way into the board u village by sheer numbers, and then kill the Romanians for Failure to Rout. By the time the Germans showed up, the Romanians had been pretty much annihilated. Aggressive flanking moves did the rest, giving the Soviets the win.
2020-03-11(A) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Grachev Russian win
2020-01-07(A) John Garlic vs Dmitri Garlic Russian win[Imported from ROAR]
2018-12-23(A) O Ramaille vs Russian winThe Russian Guards attacked hard on the Romanians whose resistance quickly crumbled. The German arrived to secure the west part of the town. But they focus their attnetion to the North and the centre and disregarded the South. The Russian Guards forces their way onto the centre, meleeing successfully with some German defenfers. A Russian squad with a leader ran to the South in the open, survived some small arms fire and finally captured the last building objective. The Germans were too scattered to take back the now heavily defended buildings. A Russian victory.
2015-04-04(D) Hennie van der Salm vs Hans Korting Romanian / German win[Imported from ROAR]
2014-11-24(A) Pablo Barreiro vs Tuzaro In progress
2014-01-01(A) Pablo Barreiro vs Tuzaro Russian winFor me, tense and balanced. With a very interesting terrain.
2013-01-21(A) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Anna Aleksanyan Russian winGood tight scenario for both sides.
