Really, once you have set up the units and look at the opposing forces why take 11 hours to try to gain a positional advantage when you can just throw your units against the opponent and lose in 1/3 the time? Despite being criminally impatient, the Soviets still almost broke the Romanians. A stupid armored assault with the lousy T37s broke against the southern hill but an infantry assault through the fields almost got through to the road in the rear of the Romanian position. Had the T37s been held to support this attack it seems that the Soviets could have won. Since the Soviets had a strong position but no reserves (they had all been lost earlier in the fight for the hill) this game ended in a Romanian victory, as they were able to finally counterattack and remove the incursion easily. Also, it might prove worthwile to use SOME cover from time to time. Had the Soviets taken care to advance under cover their losses in moving to contact would have been far less again giving them the reserves they needed to continue the fight. The lessons we learn, huh?
