Summary day 1-9

It has been 9 days since joint Hungarian- German attack descended upon Southern Transylvania.
Outnumbered Romanian troops - in fact counting only two weakened infantry divisions with minor armor support - faced onslaught of four enemy divisions. Three Hungarian and one German, as well as supporting elements. This includes one Hungarian armoured division and German elite SS cavalry division.

Losses are extreme. Romanians lost in the field and gave way on nearly a dozen of occasions. Romanian Air Force attempts to support the ground troops, but AA umbrella makes attrition barely bearable.

Yet, the defence is determined. The task of Axis force was to setup around Southern Passes and prevent Soviet forces from deploying properly. Axis stomped over Romanian bodies, but they did not walk fast enough.

Battered Romanian units are joined by the Soviets on 10th September 1944. Infantry divisions of the Red Army are pouring from the mountain passes, ready to storm up north, towards where Hungarians came from in the first place. Further Romanian reinforcements are coming in as well.

The tide might be soon turning against the Axis. What today looks as a disaster for the Allied, tomorrow might let them speak.

As victors, perhaps?
Yet, the campaign must continue...


This summary occurs just before first combat contact between Axis and Soviet troops.

The list only comprises in-game battle casualties, it ignores autoresolved losses as well other losses such as surrenders and remnants within dissolved units.

Losses do not include off-map shot-down aircraft (operational map movements)
