Overview:

Under German-backed dictator Antonescu, Romania joined its Nazi ally in the fateful Operation Barbarossa. After two months of defeats, the Soviet Army in the Ukraine was reeling. Second line units, factory militia and ageing equipment were thrown into the path of the Axis invaders. On 17 August, the Romanian 11th Infantry Division approached the town of Karpova, a key railway junction 30 km northwest of Odessa. The factories and warehouses near the railway station were defended by a ragtag company of Soviet units.
Attacker: Romanian (Elements of 3rd "Dorobanti" Regiment, 11th Infantry Division and 1st Armored Regiment)

2024-02-09(D) Craig Renier vs Steve Cummins Romanian winA weak defense followed by terrible initial dice allowed the Rumanians to push into the village mostly unscathed while the Russians broke on the left and the right. Poor placement of the rubble allowed the Rumanian AFVs mostly free reign in movement. When they finally came into the cross hairs of the HIP'd Russian guns, the AT gun malf'd and the Inf gun missed. On the following turn both crews broke. The guns never fired again. The Russians had a long shot chance to push back the attackers. The had some success, but nothing on the scale necessary to take back 4 factory building hexes and still prevent the Rumanians from gaining any more. The Russians conceded at the end of Turn 5.
2024-01-03(A) Steven Cummings vs Craig Renier Romanian win
2022-02-06(A) Simon Staniforth vs Romanian winA lot of Disrupted Russians as the largely Conscript force struggled with their MCs in the early turns. Consequently the Rumanian had taken 18 Factory Locations (10 required) by the time the Russian reinforcements arrived. A spirited counter attack quickly retaking one whole Factory but just not enough time to wrest enough of the remainder to swing a Russian win. The Russians must chose with care where they defend and where they concede territory as they are too weak to defend all the Factories simultaneously

2020-03-11(A) mark watson vs John Bock Russian winConscripts passed a lot of morale checks and the axis couldn't get purchase. As always, the AT broke on first use as did the FT.
