Eastern Front #61: Hill 110 |
---|
This scenario is quite unbalanced. About a thrd of the Soviet Units didn't fire a shot and it was still a pretty one sided game. Early in the battle, the Romanian attack was looking pretty good, breaking into the trench line with few problems. However, things quickly broke down. An extremely lucky assault by the Romanians on the penultimate turn ended up giving them a toehold on the hill at the end of the game. There was a single demoralized understrength platoon in an assault versus a whole pile of soviets at the end of the game, enough for a draw, through really the Soviets won handily. On the last turn after the assault failed to wipe out the Romanian platoon, the Soviets called in an artillery strike on the top of the hill, though it failed to cause any damage. Not totally unplayable, I did finish it after all, but probably not winnable by the Axis. |

Hi Rex,
Take it from somebody who's done the same ..... be careful ever writing "Not winnable by (whichever side)".
I see this scenario does have 1 x Axis win, 1 x Soviet win plus your draw.
Funnily enough, the stats make it looked balanced at present for some reason.
I only say this because I once wrote "It could never be won by" and the next play of said scenario produced exactly the opposite of my prediction .. LOL
All the best Rex,
Vince
