Introduction

The Soviet Danube Flotilla had only limited ground forces - a company of Marines and one of machine-gunners - but committed them to clear the Danube's south bank of the Romanian Marines who blocked the flotilla's escape downriver. The Romanians had the numbers, but the Soviets had training, discipline and morale on their side.

Conclusion

The Soviet Marines - just one rifle and one machine gun company - overwhelmed the Romanian 15th Marine Battalion. All of the Romanians were killed, captured or fled into the swamps. The Soviet Danube Flotilla's escape route had become a little easier to manage.

Scenario RiBa017

For a first ever PG game the introductory scenario seemed appropriate. Misread the set-up first time, but, after that was sorted out by an answer to a PG-HQ query, the second play went smoothly. Lots of referring back to the rulebook, but the scenario runs you through all the main game activities, and I soon was moving, shooting and assaulting. The Soviets pushed the Romanians back from their main defensive line, and at the end of the scenario the survivors were huddled in the fallback position in the woods in the corner of the board. Minor victory to the Soviets.

Scenario RiBa017

The maps and counters look great but should have passed on this first scenario as there is really not much to it, was included to show the ground combat system, so it you are an experienced PG player pass on this one.
