In this scenario a two battlions of Romanians bump heads against a reinforced battalion of Russians. The two forces are similar in morale so force and firepower are the primary winners.

The Russians set up two roadblocks in the woods with a company to assist in holding the roadblocks hiding in the woods. The Romanians, aware of the company hiding in the deeper woods decide to bypass the roadblocks, sending one battalion plus the engineers and much of their heavier infantry weapons (HMGs) through the lighter woods to the west of the road. The Russians move the company through the woods and the combination of the roadblocks and mobile forces ends up delaying the Romanians for a couple of hours.

Once the town is reached the battle devolves into an urban crash and thump which the Russians with no real reserves cannot win. At the end of the action, the Russians are still disputing control of two town hexes in the large town but only have three platoons fighting. The Romanians hold 5 town hexes and have effectively controlled the Russians.

Total step losses were 10 Romanian and 22 Russian. Victory points were 12 Russian and 37 Romanian, thus a major victory for the Romanians and nearly the historical result.

Clean and neat infantry battle. Solid rating of 4.

Soviets set up in large town on board 24 with artillery in light woods to the north and a few scattered units on the hill to the south. The Romanians advanced north en masse from the east side of board 25 and immeditaely ran into trouble. Their low morale meant the Soviets were able to disrupt many platoons with artillery, thus disorganizing the advance. Upon reaching the large town the Romanians encircled it from the East but took many losses when they advanced toward it. They also suffered from many turns ending due to FOW after only a few activations. With a half dozen turns remaining the Romanians had yet to eliminate a single Soviet step or take a town hex. In the end the Romanians gained only a single point as the Soviets dominated the game. This one could be winnable however for the Romanians with some better luck and better Generalling. It's not as bad a scenario as this play of it turned out to be.
