Overview:

Scenario and VASL map available for free on Lone Canuck website . . .The Romanians’ 14th Dorobanti Regiment “Roman” initial attack on the railroad station had managed to gain a foothold, now began the grueling task of clearing the Soviets out. Engineers with flamethrowers and demolition charges were called forward and together with the support of the machine-gun company, Batalion Puscasi No.1 started its advance. In what would be a prelude of what the Romanians could expect the following month in Odessa, the Romanian began to clear out the Soviets, building by building. It was a slow and costly task, for even when the Romanians had managed to drive the Soviets out of a building; the Soviet would quickly rally and launch an immediate counterattack to retake the building. By the afternoon, the Romanians had managed clear out the Soviets from the smoking ruins of what was left of the railroad station, but the cost was heavy.

Defender: Russian (161st Strelkovy Regiment, 25th Strelkovy Division)
