The Russians deployed defending their river border but it was defended thinly and the Russian Commander didn't think it would hold long. The next stage was an orderly retreat toward the town with the Romanians in hot pursuit. The calvary won the race to the town. Well, most of it anyway. The rest of the scenario was the Russians holding on until the reinforcements could come up. Once the reinforcements were in play, the Romanians were forced to retreat into the town for a last ditch "holdout". The Romanians held out long enough for the draw.
