Introduction

Three lines of fortifications ringed Odessa, the city could receive supplies and reinforcements by sea, and the Soviets usually had control of the air. Nevertheless, the Armata Romana pushed its regiments forward. The first attack wave went against the Soviet troops dug in around the Razdelnaya railway station.

Conclusion

After bloody fighting, at times hand-to-hand, the Romanians took the railway station and the built-up area around it. Already, lightweight Romanian artillery support and Soviet tenacity showed early signs that Odessa would not fall without a struggle.

Additional Notes

This scenario is a revision of Eastern Front Deluxe, Scenario 57 "Odessa: The First Assault" and is playable with pieces & maps from Eastern Front Deluxe.

Romanian wagons are available at Avalanche Press, in the Daily Content archives. The article Moving the Armata Romana links to a pdf download, and contains suggestions for creating the counters.
