Another scenario sees the Rumanians arrive using the Italian deck and counters. They are attempting to capture a Russian village in 1941, while the Russians are attempting to fend them off.
The Rumanians tried a two pronged assault on the village and left some of their force in reserve in an attempt to counter the expected Soviet reinforcements.
The Rumanian right flank successfully worked their way into the village but were ultimately defeated in some bitter close quarter fighting.
On the left flank they had more success moving through the woods and pushing into the village. The Russian reinforcements had already arrived as hidden units in the centre of the village so the Rumanians brought their reserves into the battle via the woods.
The battle became a bit of a stalemate when objective W came into play which gives double exit points. Both sides now scrambled to get their units off the opposing edge.
The Rumanians were best placed to exit having already committed several squads to a wide left hook along the Russian baseline.
Russian Guards Rifle units exited the Rumanian side despite the Rumanians blazing away at them.
In Combat Commander exited units return to your baseline as new reinforcements and these were used to hold defend against enemy exiting units.
Try as they might the Rumanians could not get ahead in this game and eventually lost by 19 victory points.
This was my first run out for the Italian deck and units and it is not easy to get the troops to do what you would like them to do.
