Scenario EFDx088

Setup: Again, neither side starts on the board, therefore there are no notes on setup.

Play: The Romanians and Soviets enter on their respectively map edges, and begin moving towards each other. The Romanians stop a third of the way across, and begin to dug-in, forcing the Soviets to march twice as far. (The three Boards are aligned length-wise) The Soviets arrive several turns after the Romanians finish digging in, but must wait for their slow moving HMG's.

The Soviet infantry need the T-26's to advance, without them they are too weak, but the powerful 47mm guns that the Romanians have prevent the Soviet armor from moving forward. The HMG's finally arrive on turn 21, and the Soviets commit them to tying up the Romanian guns in assault. Their approach went badly, and three steps of the HMG group are lost. The one HMG left then assaults, surviving first fire, but not firing on any of the other turns.

With the guns out of action, the Soviets qucikly push across the entire line, with minor losses. The Romanians prepare for the defensive, and take a savage toll on the Soviets due to first fire. The Soviets attempt to regroup and recover morale, but are continuously harassed by the Romanians in the assaults. To make matters worse, the Soviet HMG assaulting the Romanian guns finally leaves the assault due to failing morale checks. The guns then start shooting up the Soviet T26's, and the Soviet attack crumbles.

Result: Romanian Victory. They hold all town hexes on Board 2.
