Scenario RoSo003

First let me state, this was a fun scenario. I real puzzle for both sides to solve. It starts with a large, mostly Romanian force on the board, a German mixed armor & Infantry force coming on the west edge and two Soviet mixed forces coming on two different northern maps and all on turn one.

The Romanian are not sure which North-South road to protect, so they pretty much slit their initial forces in two to defend both. The Soviets realize the Germans will reinforce from the west, so they use the north-west force to screen their north-east force which will open the north-east road. The Soviets have four victory objectives to try for and the axis will try to stop as many as possible.

The weather, mud slows movement on both sides! The Soviets are able to clear the North-East road and eliminate over 15 Romanian & German steps, but they lose over 20 steps by a few step and they miss exiting 25 steps by two steps, as too many steps got involved with fighting and screening axis forces, spread out too far and the mud slowed movement. So this was a minor Soviet victory which could have been a major one if I had paid more attention to the overall situation. The Axis should have entered the Germans further south and not get tangled up with so much Soviet armor right in the begin and then this would have been a much closer game, either way. I believe you could play this one three times and have three different outcomes.
