The Romanians went from neutrality, to an alliance with the Axis, through to switching sides to join the allies, during the course of the war. This battle represented the point at which the Romanians turned on their German and Hungarian allies and stood in the way of their attempted retreat form the oncoming Soviet hordes.

In our battle, the Axis commanders were confused as to whether they should try to break through the Romanian lines, or defeat them in open battle. The Romains managed to hold back their former allies (using some of their gifted armour and equipment!) through clever use of AT guns, and a certain degree of defence in depth.

Cool stuff! I'm not at all familiar with the end of the war fighting in Romania, so it's super cool to see a different theater and the unique force (that's some real commitment!), and that's a heck of a scenario concept. Great looking to boot!

V/R,

The Romanian King Mihai I received the highest military award of the USSR – the "Order of Victory" for changing the situation on this section of the front in favor of the allies. According to reviews, the Romanian troops fought with dignity against their former allies.

Nice of the Germans to leave the Romanians reviews. Are these still up on Google?
