Overview:

Since the end of July, the Germans had reached the Crimea and the outskirts of Odessa. The Russians fought tooth and nail but, day after day, the perimeter defense narrowed. Using their fleet on the Black Sea, the Soviet command decided to launch a counter-attack supported by a landing to the rear of the 9th Romanian cavalry brigade. The 22nd of September, while the 426th Infantry Division attacked towards the east of Odessa, the 3rd Regiment of sailors of the Black Sea Fleet was beached close to Grigorievka at 0200. Arriving without mishap in the outskirts of the village, the company of Lieutenant Tcharoup launched the assault at 0800.
Attacker: Russian (3rd Regiment, Black Sea Fleet Marines)
Defender: Romanian (23rd Regiment, 15th Infantry Division and the 23rd Regimental Artillery Company)

2021-08-17(D) Macari Samuel vs Russian winPBEM. Russian can thank their OBA, destroying the last Gun on a CH in the last turn.
2021-07-22(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Romanian winRomanians did an excellent job of wasting Russian movement. Was looking good for Russians near the last two Turns since they had many units charging the Guns. In the end however Russians were forced to commit everything to get into CC with last two Guns but even with 4to1 odds failed with a 10 DR in CC.
2021-04-24(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Romanian winThe Russians moved aggressively against the Romanians, breaking some, but with the aid of some fanatic and one berserk squad. The OBA did nothing and Romanians were able to fall back to the guns forcing the Russians to make a dash for the guns on the last turn. They were unable to get adjacent to the last gun, even though all the gun crews broke on the sight of the advancing Russians. The guns were not destroyed.
2021-04-24(A) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske Romanian win
2021-01-15(A) Shane Pask vs Russian winAt the start, I thought Romanians could not stop the Russians but may slow them down. They didn't. The Russians still needed all 7 turns to reach and spike the last gun.
