Romanian Military strength upon entry into WWII:

Total military manpower: 686,000
This includes Army, Navy, Border police, etc.

The Romanian Armored division was equipped with some of the most fearsome AFV's ever to see service [img]smile.gif[/img] The Pz-38(t) being the baddest boy they owned, and these only in small numbers. The S-IIa, two man MG tanks, and FT-17's that also equipped this force were garbage as MBT's.
Most Romanian units were completely unmotorized. Most any transport they used was German. They did have several mobile cavalry brigades, but these cannot be compared to motorized Soviet units.
They had almost no indigenous war industry and without heavy German aid, will completely fail to supply combat units quite fast.
