They nerfed Romania too bad...I mean it was pretty bad back in 1916 right but not THIS bad. Shocker: The number of Central Powers and Romanian victories in the Battle of Transylvania is approximately equal. It's just that the Romanians didn't build up on their victories to keep advancing, they used them as checks on the Germans in order to retreat orderly. Resulting in more Central Powers prisoners than Romanian ones on that front, by the end of the battle. All but one of the several German encirclement attempts were beaten back. And even when the ring was closed that one time, the Romanians broke through it almost imemdiately.

The Germans actually had to get bulk in order to conquer Romania. You look at the battles on the Western Front, and the Allies always outnumbered the Germans. However, the battle which cracked the Romanian defenses in mid-November, saw 18 Romanian battalions against FORTY German battalions, PLUS two Cavalry Divisions! The Romanians actually forced the Germans to go for numerical superiority, they never did that in the West.

Conclusion: The German soldier in the Romanian campaign of 1916 is not a god. He's a wimp without his precious artillery, and really, without his numbers on his side eventually as well.

There's this one battle, where the Germans got shrekt by the Romanians. But the Romanian general was a pussy, and just unaware of how shrekt the Germans war. So, instead of pressing on, he used this as a check to retreat. This was the first time when a purely German force was defeated by the unaided force of a country with no empire/colonies. Romania in WW1 was not Dacia in this anime, it had its bad-ass moments too, quite a few.
