Armata Romana: scenario Seven: Gates of Chisinau

Now this scenario was better in my opinion then scenario six and an interesting matchup of unit type and three nationalities. Same objectives, the Romanians/Germans have to exit four or more units and the Soviets need to prevent this or eliminate more than six steps. I used actual Romanian truck counters I had downloaded a few years ago and added one Soviet truck to their mix as well, as they were obviously short one.

The Germans and Romanians have some very fast Motorcycle Infantry and Armored Cars to race down the road, followed by Truck mounted Infantry and Anti-Tank Guns. At the same time the Soviet have a nice mix of Armored Cars, followed by light T-37 tanks and trucked mounted Infantry and AT Guns.

Here is where I made one tactical mistake, I left too large of a hole around the hex 0109, as anything within four hexes of it, the Axis exit points. So in a few turns later the Axis were able to exit five units off the north edge of the map but the battle continued and the Axis also lost seven steps, thus a Draw.

So I made a mistake with each side, the Soviets left a large hole in the lines trying to engage enemy units instead of forming a defensive line the Axis after exiting enough units should have pulled back the remaining units but some were locked in assault combat. It would be interesting to try this one again, as I bet it could go either way.
