So I am guessing a Romanian box set?

After tearing my greying hair out, I realized I had the makings of an unpublishable but enjoyable boxed game, even if I was the only one to ever see it.

Behold, Transylvania 1940. As Romanian and Hungarian troops mobilized on the Transylvanian border in September 1940, Hitler and Mussolini ironed out the second Vienna accord (called the Vienna Diktat in our world). Before they could impose their brutal territorial concession on Rumania, the Iron Dice of war were cast. Fueled by fascist nationalism both sides sought territorial agrandisement, attempting to rewrite the 1919-1920 Transylvania war (which someday we may see in Infantry Attacks). Knowing that Germany depended on Rumanian oil, grain, and lumber, Germany and Italy eventually fueled a Brushfire war for Greater Hungary, while Stalin, realizing that Romanian was Hitler's Achilles Heel, decided to support the Romanian cause via the Odessa-Bessarabian corridor and the Black Sea. A boxed game, using counters from East Front, Road to Berlin, France 40 and Workers and Peasants, and a scad of already published maps. A cold war breaks out between the Soviet Union and the Greater German Reich as an Eastern European war burns on for several years.
