Scenario EFDx047

This scenario has a large Red Army INF force supported by tanks tasked to destroy a brideghead over the Dnester defended by Romanian mountain troops. The Romanian's have good morale and excellent OBDA bit are heavily outnumbered. The Romanian set up was a little strange with a small force well to the east of the river holding high ground but several miles from the main force dug in around the bridge and in woods to the south of the bridge. The Soviet's have 40 turns to take the bridge for the win or destroy 10 Romanian steps for a draw. So with plenty of time the main Soviet thrust was initially against the smaller force on the hills, with a secondary move towards the units in the woods. In less than 3 hours fighting the Romanian units on the hills had been eliminated this with some lucky artillery shots from the Soviet OBDA had already taken care of the 10 steps needed to ensure a draw. Red Army losses had been high but the tank platoons were now racing towards the bridge and all the Romanian A/T guns had been destroyed. The result was now in little doubt as over the next 10 turns the Soviet tanks machine gunned the hapless Romanian mountaineers, despite a limited counter attack which delayed the final onslaught by the GT26 there was not one Romanian leader left on the board and all three surviving Romanian platoons were demoralized and heading for home. A too easy Soviet win IMHO, a interesting solitaire puzzle though and a nice change to see early war Soviet tanks doing something other than burn,LOL.
