2023-01-12(D) Stephen Stewart vs Kevin H Russian win

(VASL Log)		Short 2 hour scenario.
You only have a couple of units as the Russians so the tempo is dictated by the Romanians.
Honestly think going HEAVY through the forest wins the game. IT gets closer to the Russians and doesn't really allow the Russians to run away.

That being said...Good progress initially for Romanians...Mortars by Russian need 3 TH so you can't depend on those...or 5 in OG.. but you'd likely be subject to a FG from the Romanians on T1.

Hip units surprised his Forest attackers and blasted his stack. Zerkies near game end, I just ran from them...
Lucky DM Rally in the vineyard allowed a maneuver behind the Romanians to win the game using covering fire.

Doesn't need to be BIG to be fun.
2022-07-01(A) Jonathan Townsend vs Romanian winSolo game. I enjoy playing these scenarios to get a feel for what the Campaign may involve later on, ie. portions and stages of it.
2021-03-17(D) Richard Dagnall vs Toby Pilling Russian winThe Romanians have a lot to do in this one in a short amount of time. Essentially I won as not all my hip units were fond in time
nice short scenario easily done in 2 hours
2020-06-06(A) O Ramaille vs Russian winSecond play in this short scenario. The Romanians launched several assault waves with several units ending broken. They were still quite effective in entering the manor and the other wooden building. But they still lacked motivated troops to drive out the remaining Russian defenders. A Russian victory.
2020-06-05(A) O Ramaille vs Russian winAs the Romanians crossed the stream to prepare for the assault. A mortar shell fell directly among the troops killing 20 of them with a critical hit. Their own mortar was quite ineffective in supporting the assault, which broke many men. The Romanians managed to capture the first small building but the Russians were still holding the manor strongly. A Russian victory.
