| Introduction |
|---|
|
The Romanian V Corps continued its drive, with the coastal town of Fontanka at the north-eastern edge of Odessa’s harbor a prime target. From here, Romanian artillery could engage ships within the harbor with direct fire, and likely make it impossible for the Soviet Black Sea Fleet to continue bringing in reinforcements and supplies. If the Romanians could take the town, the Soviet defense of Odessa would likely unravel. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
The Marines hung on against repeated infantry assaults backed by heavy artillery bombardment,but had the support of Fontanka’s 203mm coastal defense battery. The Romanian failure to capture Fontanka and its battery would extend the siege of Odessa by another month. |
| Additional Notes |

|

The scenario set up was relatively straight forward. The Romanians had but to head for the coast and keep the road open. Once the defensive line was punctured it was "hey diddle diddle right" up the middle for the Romanians and there wasn't much the Marines could do about it. An easy victory for the Romanians. |
