A Will of Iron: An Iron Guard AAR

The City of Satu Mare was for a brief period left ungaurded. This hints that the Hungarian Army is not as large as previously thought.


The Hungarian Army did soon fill the gap.


The Liberation of Uzice
New tank divisions are deployed giving me more room to maneuver. The Serbian army has tried to dislodge the Hungarians from Uzice but their obsolete weapons and equipment gain them little progress.


It was decided that the Units stationed in Nis would be moved into position to attack Uzice and the new tanks shall take their place.


In a short lived attempt to drive us from Craiova the Hungarian army launches a short lived attack. Their infantry began to move into the hills of the region but were soon turned back when the area in front of them was reduced to a cratered wasteland by our Artillery brigades.


Things look terrible for the French. Winter is the only thing stopping the Germans from overwhelming them. All the more reason for our war to end as quickly as possible lest a victorious Germany comes the Hungary's aid.


The 3 tank divisions began their attack on Uzice which the Hungarians had entrenched themselves in. Romanian Armor however proved to be far less vulnerable then the Serbian infantry was.



Finally after a long drawn out fight the Hungarians withdrew in defeat.


This series of events has revealed that the Hungarians are ill prepared for large scale attacks in most area's. This will prove to be a great boon come springtime.

6 new divisions have completed training and are ready for deployment.


The freed up space was then used to begin the training and equipment of new squadrons for the Air force. Much is planned for these new pilots when spring arrives.


3 of the new divisions were ordered to move to Uzice to support the tank divisions stationed there. The other 3 are deployed along the northern sector Carpathian line.



The news that reinforcements were to be sent to Serbia gave new heart to the beleaguered Serbian Army who soon captured the port city of Podgorica.


Another 6 divisions finish there training and a ready for combat. They wpuld soon be sent to Serbia when news arrived that the Hungarians counter attacked. The tanks in Uzice did what they could to try and stop the Hungarians but they failed in the areas hilly terrain. When the Hungarian Airforce began bombing the Serbians, Romania's only sqaudron would engage them in the skies and get badly mauled. This however bought the Serbians time to retreat.




The decision was made that although the attack on the Magyar heartland would not take place till spring, a Winter Assault would be launched to capture the Adriatic coastline.

Operation Impaler

Impaler was the chosen name of the plan to invade Hungary's heartland. The basic idea is simple really wait till the snow thaws, then hit them with everything we have. But that was not to be. Political pressure from certain individuals within the government, have force the Army to revise the plan. It now has been accelerated and the invasion shall begin in the dead of winter.

The first blood was spilt in Timosoara. Divisions from 3 regions fell upon the Hungarians simultaneously and of course they never stood a chance.


Another attack was launched into Satu Mare. Once again with our forces having overwhelming supremacy.


The third attack in Arad did not go as well as the others.

The Hungarians began to counterattack and force back our troops.

Motorized Cavalry fresh from the attack on Timosoara, joined in the fray.This was still not enough to stem the tide of battle.




The attacks failure was due to the combined factors of weather and terrain. This is what happens when you launch winter assaults into hilly terrain.


Serbia's army has finally coordinated with Romania in its operations and brought most of its army up to modern standards. A mostly Serbian led attack on Zrenjanin is initiated.



Romanian National Guards join in the fray trapping the enemy on 3 sides. Resulting in victory.



The Serbians begin an attack on Podgorica, assisted by the Romanian Army.


With more troops availiable this time around, a second attack begins in Arad which is a resounding success.



The Hungarians attempted to launch counter attacks into Zrenjanin and Arad but epic fail.





Seeking to gain the favor of the Slovakians, Presov is invaded.





For the first time in history all of Romania's lands are unified under one banner. There is still much work to do before she can truly count herself among the great powers of the world.


Realizing the lack of any airstrips in most of the country, several airfields are ordered built.


Two tank divisions that were stationed in Serbia are ordered to redeploy in Arad, they will be spearheading the attack to Budapest! for the plains of Debrecen now wait our footsteps.
