In this scenario a badly outmanned Romanian force must delay and deny a much larger Soviet force entry into Botosani (which, from Google Maps, looks exactly like the town on Board 2). My initial read of the scenario indicated that the Romanians were too weak to do much of anything and that the Soviets would just roll through them easily. Frankly, the terrain (a river to cross and two suburban towns to clear, in the midst of forested areas) seemed more daunting than the Romanians.

Wrong again, The Romanians held on tightly to the suburban towns disrupting the Soviet advance and causing them to have to spread their superior force thinly and without bringing their numerical strength to bear on Botosani until late in the game. Indeed the suburbs held out until the 18th turn (4 1/2 hours) and were a main reason why the game ended in a draw and not a Soviet victory.

Overall a lot of fun in a situation that seemed to be anything but.
