Fortifications

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Are you attacking with Germans or Romanians?

My opponent took the city in two turns.
First attack featured 15(!) pioneer battalions.
Second attack has 19(!) pioneer battalions (and assorted heavy artillery) and succeeded.

Romanians are almost useless. I currently play against an opponent who tries to capture Odessa with just Romanians. Every turn at least one attack. On T16 the fortifications are still above 3. He might capture the city on T17 but it has been quite an ordeal.

You have to use a German Corps with heavy/siege artillery. Assign pioneers directly to units.

Maybe post a screenshot so that we can see what you are using.
