Overview:

On 9 April, the 4th Ukrainian Front broke through the Axis lines around the Sivash Marshes. The German Korps withdrew in order to avoid encirclement in the peninsula. First in charge of the anti-partisan duty, the Romanian Mountain Corps was ordered to ease the withdrawal of the other units by holding the key crossing points in the Yaila Mountains. A detachment with 2 battalions and several artillery batteries blocked the enemy vanguard close to Simferopol before withdrawing on the 15th towards Alushta, where it had to embark to reach Sevastopol. But the Romanians discovered upon arrival that by the end of the morning, the German motorized rearguard and the ships that were supposed to wait for them had already sailed away! At the beginning of the afternoon, they had no choice but to walk to Sevastopol.

2022-11-03(D) Ian Morris vs Gerard Romanian winAnother two-turn blowout, as G’s dice couldn’t miss and mine couldn’t hit. Would have been a decent battle with average dice rolls.
2018-09-24(A) Martí Cabré vs Òscar Oliver Romanian winWe could only play 3 full turns, the Romanians dispatched two Russian tanks and killed almost all Partisans, only a couple squads were blocking the exit, and the Russian infantry was still far from the hill, so it seemed a Romanian win.
2015-12-13(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs Mikko Lukkari Russian / Partisan win[Imported from ROAR]
2015-11-15(D) Jeremy Busby vs Larry Eischen Russian / Partisan win
2014-04-13(A) Fred Ingram vs Rob Banezoic Romanian winASL Open 2014



The 3 guns killed all but one valentine - allowing it to break through - but too late for interdiction of units getting off the board. One wagon left the board as the partisans had to deal with a gaggle of Romanians attempting to flank on the open side of the hill
