When I first set up the maps and read over this scenario I thought it should be a Soviet cake walk. Sure the German and Romanian forces have good movement factors when the infantry and AT's are mounted/towed, and the 47mm range is better than anything the Soviets have, but the Reds have tanks, and if the SMG infantry ever get close enough to assault the Romanian infantry, they should carry the field! But that is not how it played out. The Axis forces traveled up the North/South road on turn one, then spilt, with the Germans heading West and the Romanians East to outflank both ends of the Soviet positions. It was on the East where the three 47's soon had unlimbered near the small hill, and got off some amazing rolls against the Red Army's Ba-10M's, with a natural 11 against one, and a twelve against the second! It was then a mad dash East, then North for the Germans, following the Romanians toward the exit hexes. The Germans did take 4 step losses as they prevented the Soviets from interfering with the 3 Romaian infantry and 2 cycle units leaving the board. The Romanian AT's and a Leader set up in the small town in the North-East corner, to protect the 4 hexes East of the road, the designated exit point. At the end of the game, the total Axis loss was 6 steps, while they easily met the exit requirements to actually win. Sometimes it is better to be lucky...
