#3 First Tank Battle |
---|
This has to be one of the only scenarios where the Romanian armor has any chance of success against the Soviet tank forces, granted they are not going up against T34s or KV tanks and their R2s on paper are somewhat of an even match for the T26 & T28s of the Soviet forces, backed up by two batteries of 47mm ATGs. Victory is all on the Armata, they have to either clear all Soviet forces from the E-W road or clear them from all hexes of map 1 and Soviet goal is to deny the Armata objectives. The Armata used the R2s better mobility supported by a company of motorcycle troops to force the Soviet infantry to deploy and if possible, set up their 47mm for crossfire modifier against the T28 and T26 tanks. Needless to say, the Armata had not trouble keeping the Soviets from map 1, but they could not clear all of the E-W road. Not a bad scenario, went down to the last turn due to the Soviets making one final push to get forces onto map 1. |
