Introduction

The lower stretches of the Danube River formed the border between the Soviet Union and Romania. The Soviet Danube Flotilla, headquartered at Ismail on the river’s north bank, could not reach the Black Sea without passing Romanian fortified positions at Chilia Veche and Peripava on the south bank. These two locations – the south bank’s only instances of dry land amid the marshes – had been occupied by the Romanian Marine Regiment. The Soviets set out to eject them and clear the way for the flotilla to evacuate Ismail.
Conclusion

Unlike most scenarios in this book, this scenario is based on an actual action. The Romanian monitors did not arrive in time to interrupt the Soviet landings, and the Soviet marines – just one rifle and one machine gun company – overwhelmed the Romanian 15th Marine Battalion. All of the Romanians were killed, captured or fled into the swamps. The Soviet Danube Flotilla’s escape route had become a little easier to manage.
Display Relevant AFV Rules
AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle
  • Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0).
  • AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8). They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank leader in order to carry out combat movement.
  • AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1).
  • Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn (either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more (11.2).
  • Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3)
  • Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire (7.44, 7.64). Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire, but not both (7.22, 13.0). Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0).
  • Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3).
  • Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3).
  • AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42).
  • AFV's may Dig In (16.2).
  • River Vessels: see Rule 15.2 ~ 15.22

Scenario RiBa006

Big scenario, lots of ships plus Marines, the key to this battle is the troop movement and landing of the Soviet Marines to clear out the Romanian Marines on the south bank of the river. The Romanian Marines got the better of their Soviet counter parts and were able to hold out until the end, while the Romanian naval reinforcements were late arriving and never really made a threat to the Soviet ships, the Romanians were outnumbered 4-1. Probably should have given this scenario a 2.
