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)

Defender: Romanian / German (Romanian 8th Infantry Division / German Panzergrenadier-Division "Grossdeutschland")

2021-08-08	(A) César Moreno	vs	Carl	Russian win	Romanian 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 win	My 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 win	Romanians 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 win	A 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 win	The 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.
2014-11-24	(A) Pablo Barreiro	vs	Tuzaro	In progress
2014-01-01	(A) Pablo Barreiro	vs	Tuzaro	Russian win	For me, tense and balanced. With a very interesting terrain.
2013-01-21	(A) Dmitry Klyuykov	vs	Anna Aleksanyan	Russian win	Good tight scenario for both sides.
