After playing this one against another person which i won as the Soviets by digging in after coming on the board, I wanted to try and see what happens if the Romanians blitz across the map with their motorcycles and tanks. But the PG Gods didn't smile on me as the Russians got the first initiative and drove fast for board one.

Immediately a swirly battle ensued at map center and the Russians got hot dice. They downs a few steps of Romanians tanks early on, sent a couple Romanians leaders running and tied one up in an assault. This bogged the Romanians and caused them to lose initiative. The Russians thus gaining freedom of maneuver moved to the NW field and got a majority of their force on Board 1.

The Romanians countered and then the Russians headed for the town causing a running battle to take place. The Russians got an infantry company in the town followed by the Romanians. house to house fighting continued to the end of the game. The Romanians attacked through the fields clearing but only to face a strong Soviet tank/infantry position on the other side. the Romanian motorcycle company rallied and went for the dug in Russians on Board 8, a small force. They had a bit of success and then got hammered and ran away. It was clear with both Romanian efforts faltering the game was over at Turn 14 for a Russian win. Once the Romanians fell behind they never really got back into the game with the Russians forcing them to do too much with too little.

This play was completely different from my previous play of this scenario. The former one was more static with the Russians digging in along the road while this one was fluid across the whole map.
