The Romanians set up on the northern edge of the tree line with an unobstructed view of the empty ground to the north. The Soviets entered on the eastern half of the northern edge in order to reduce the number of Romanian troops that could fire on them during their advance. Accurate Romanian fire saw the Soviets lose four steps in their approach to the woods. Once the Soviets reached the woodline they began to overwhelm the Romanian defenders. Half way into the game the Soviets had lost only two more steps while the Romanians had lost a dozen. The Soviets had cleared a three row north-south corridor to gain a minor victory and were working on making sure no Romanian units could approach the east-west road. The last turns of the game were spent seeing if the Romanians could get a unit onto the east-west road to prevent a Soviet major victory. In the end they couldn't and the Soviets romped to an easy victory. Not a bad scenario solitaire, but appears to be a real struggle for the Axis player.
