Kletskaya, November 19th 1942:. At dawn, the earth erupted from the Russian guns and Katyusha rocket batteries as the barrage plastered the Rumanian front lines. Then came the Soviet infantry, first without tank support. They were beaten back by shaken Rumanian Infantry. With no time to waste, the tanks and cavalry were fed into the attack. The outgunned and outmatched Rumanians could not hope to hold the line. The defenses began to crumble, and the flood of Soviet tanks and cavalry streamed south, proving once again "The First Cut is the Deepest" [Size, small] Designer Note: This scenario has been optimized for HTH play.

The victory conditions are really hard to achieve for the russian player even if the axis plays with only rumanian units

The Soviet player must dislodge the Axis infantry from the bunkers early on. Once the Romanian reinforcemenets arrive and are allowed to move into place, winning becomes harder for the Soviet player.
