Introduction |
---|
Kishinev's fall represented a great success for Romanian arms, and the Soviets withdrew from the rest of Bessarabia in fairly short order. The Romanian Royal Armored Division pursued them. At Tighina, the Red Army turned to defend the vital bridge over the Dnestr River. If the Romanian government chose to pursue the war into Soviet territory proper, they'd need to grab this crossing. |
Conclusion |
---|
Romanian morale soared as the last Soviet troops fled Bessarabia. Royal Armored Division had swept the last of its enemies out of the lost province, and the Red Army pulled back desperately in an attempt to re-group. |

As the Romanians advanced they come under accurate Soviet OBA fire that disrupted and demoralized most of the Romanian infantry but their armor advanced unfazed to attack the Soviet right flank. The armor come under fire from a lone Soviet ATG position which missed, the R-1 tanks returned fire and quickly knocked out the threat then they proceeded to roll up the unsupported Soviet infantry positions to capture the bridge. It was at this point that the Romanian armor attack started to bog down as they took too many casualties assaulting the remaining Soviet positions just south of the bridge and never did get close to assaulting the town, thus giving the Soviets a minor victory. |

Los soviéticos desplegaron sus fuerzas en 3 puntos el mapa, un grupo de INF y HMG en el bosque, otro grupo dig-in junto al puente incluyendo un AT y el reto en el pueblo. Los rumanos avanzaron en 2 grupo, uno incluyendo todos los tanques, mortero y algunas INF dirección hacia el pueblo y el resto a encontrarse en el bosque con los soviéticos allí desplegados. Los rumanos y soviéticos estuvieron luchando casi todo el tiempo en el bosque con alto número de perdidas por parte de los rumanos. Mientras en el sur del mapa el pueblo fue tomado al asalto, toma que fue facilitada al caer el AT que disponían allí los rusos ante la OBA rumana. La falta de AT en el bando ruso fue determinante, las unidades desmoralizadas rusas del pueblo acabaron en el bosque al oeste del mismo. Tras tomar el pueblo parte de los tanque se dirigieron al puente, allí un AT acabó con un paso de un tanque, otro cayó ante un asalto de la infantería rusa, pero los rusos no pudieron evitar que los rumanos tomaran el puente. La posesión por el puente se resolvió en el turno final con INF rusa intentando desalojar a los tanques rumanos. Ha sido un escenario entretenido que se ha resuelto en favor de los rumanos gracias a los tanques. De todas maneras los rumanos han perdido 10 pasos frente a 14 de los soviéticos. |
