An interesting game. All infantry fight between the Russians and Romania all for a solitary hill, with the interesting bit that the battle starts in the dark of night.

I set the Russians with a fairly solid line just south of the road in an attempt to hold the attack up. The darkness meant that the Romanians were able to rush the dug in Russians but excellent fire from the defenders stymied the rush slightly. at one point all the forward trenches were in combat. Despite the numbers the Romanians had the early losses until it finally turned to the attackers side, but the defenders had done their jobs and this would be soon to be important later.

By now the darkness was fading and but with a close range fight didn't mean it was too important.

Time was also a factor as with only 60 minutes left to attack the hill against a very strong defence. Morale was important as the Russians also the advantage here. The by now usual quick rush wasn't as successful this time and in the end the Russians just managed to hold all the hills.

A great game and one I would certainly play again.
