As part of the German operations to secure the area around the capital and oil fields, small detachments of German Special Forces were to attack Romanian-held airfields and destroy the aircraft that the Germans had supplied to their former Axis partner.

2023-08-11(D) Martí Cabré vs Josep Maria Cassani Romanian winThe Germans started in Melee but took only one of them, taking a Romanian gun, the other Melee lasted two turns, also they lost a half squad moving in the open. Then the other two Romanian guns broke down, leaving the runway spaces open. With the Romanians I pushed hard on the Germans and in close combat I manged to kill another half squad. Meanwhile the 4 DC had blasted 4 planes and with rifles they blasted another one, for 10 VP. But then a German squad got broken, reduced and eliminated by the paratrooper reinforcements, giving the Romanians 4 CVP. With one turn to go and needing 3 more VP, the Germans conceded. This scenario is chaotic and dicey but it is also fun.

2023-01-26(D) Neal Ulen vs Scott Romanian winWe played half this scenario then stopped because we had questions about if Germans accumulate CVP to add to their glider VP, and what parts of E1.54 (in SSR 4) apply. Perry answered, it's in the Gamesquad "Perry Sez" forum. Anyway, we made a few adjustments to our progress and finished, and it was close. Germans had 12 VP, Romanians 4 CVP. But the Germans had no other opportunity to get more VP (last turn), so we ended it.

I have mixed feelings about this scenario. But definitely different, with a very interesting premise. But E1.54 (or a portion of it?) only applying to the Germans was strange. I guess they are supertroopers? I dunno, before playing make sure you both agree on how the VPs accumulate and how SSR 4 works (or see the Gamesquad post), because it wasn't crystal clear to us.
