The great thing about random events is that they are so...random.

Having decided to cross into the Ukraine, the Armata Romana clumsily attacks with its cavalry, which is hammered by Soviet artillery and takes heavy losses (a total of 7 steps by turn 6, not a good result if they are to keep from losing ten steps overall). Both bridges, however are cleared, a darn good thing for the Romanians given that their engineers were hammered by the artillery as well.

The Romanian infantry had moved forward and engaged the covering companies of Soviets when they got a call to withdraw back across the river. One can imagine the reaction of the men but perhaps Antonescu got an offer he couldn't refuse? A capitulation by the Soviets to the land taken to date? A guarantee of their territorial integrity from Great Britain (sarcasm intended)? The ability to see their future as a Communist country if they did cross the river? In any event, with the territory removed as a victory condition they just needed to pull their infantry back and avoid any heavy losses, which they did.

In this case, the order change made perfect sense and led to an interesting result. I expect to play this one again to see what happens when you aren't suicidal with the cavalry.
