Scenario EFDx061

First shot at an Eastern Front scenario. This 16-turn game pits nearly equal numbers of Romanians against Russians. The drawback is those Russians are entrenched, and it's dark. For 10 turns, visibility is 1 hex. In the jungles of the Pacific or the forests of Western Europe, everyone has some terrain, but not so much on the open steppes. Romanians took the worst of it by far. At the end of 13 turns, with visibility and range rapidly growing and adding that much more to the impact of the entrenched Russians, and with no Romanians having yet penetrated the Russian line, I called it a game. Romanian losses 19 steps and 2 leaders, Soviets lost 1 step and 1 leader (a LT that ran away - that south edge is way too close when a Russian has difficulty rallying). The Romanians left one reduced stack in assault with the Soviet left flank position while the rest of the troops and leaders headed north in a demoralized state. Lots of room to learn in this theatre.
