Scenario AGSU005

This scenario has a Romanian force of mainly ING backed by some A/T guns defending a single board width against stronger Soviet forces with better OBA and a solitary tank platoon in support. The Soviet of objectives are to clear the east -west road and have a 3 hex corridor running North to South also clear of Romanian troops. The Soviet attack heads south and using massed HMG platoons and smoke to cover the advance easily break through the initial defence line of the Romanians, by GT6 things are looking very rosy for the Red Army. However as the Russian troops make their was through the woods on board 6 they are unable to catch the fleeing Romanians and time is ticking away ominously quickly. The Romanians manage to from a second line along the edge of the southern wood and as units get dispersed in the thick forest the Soviet attack is losing cohesion. Then a lucky artillery strike hits the Soviet command structure and the Commanding Officer is eliminated (Col 800 rolls a 12 on a rally) could this be the turning point of this battle. Actually know none of the other Soviet officers are in remotest bit concerned and carry on regardless. The final attacks go in and although the Romanian troops try to avoid been pinned by assault they are unsuccessful apart from a reduced INF and a Lt 700 who have a chance to advance onto the road and secure a very unlikely win. However the Red Army artillery leap into action and although with a very strong chance of causing Friendly fire casualties fire at the impudent Romanians and wipe them out (Double 1 rolled on the 30 Bombardment column). Game over. If somebody had said at the end of GT6 this scenario would go down to the wire and the Axis forces would have had a chance to win I would have been very sceptical however so it proved. A one mapper with the end in doubt till the last turn. Excellent fun Excellent scenario.
