Overview:

With the arrival of decent spring weather, the Soviets launched an offensive at the start of May into Romania using the combined weight of both the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts. German and Romanian forces had more than held their own during some April battles, but this massed attack immediately put the Romanian Army on the ropes. Panzergrenadier-Division “Grossdeutschland”, in an effort to stem the Russian tide, was called upon to serve in a familiar role – as “fire brigade.”
Attacker: Russian (42nd Guards Rifle Division)
Defender: Romanian / German (Romanian 8th Infantry Division / German Panzergrenadier-Division "Grossdeutschland")

2025-12-04(A) Herve Duval vs In progressRussian victory
2021-08-08(A) César Moreno vs Carl Russian winRomanian defensive setup looked smart but they lacked the firepower to stop the high-morale soviets. My guys steamrolled the defense; when german reinforcement came there was little they could do to stop me.
2021-03-12(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites Romanian / German winMy Romanians were able to delay the Russians for 4 turns. The Russians would get 5 buildings but ran out of time to get the 2 needed on Board w. So my Romanians/Germans would get the win.
2020-12-12(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Gleb Paskevich Romanian / German win
2020-06-06(D) Raoul Duke vs BS Romanian / German winRomanians successfully fell back through the Board u village to form a second defense line centered on building wX1. Here, the Soviets encountered withering fire from both the Romanians and their German allies. When a flanking thrust through the fields was shot to pieces, the Soviet attack fell apart.
