Overview:

The 2nd Guards Mechanized Corps was slowly closing in on the Hungarian final defensive perimeter around Buda. After some very hard fighting, the Soviet 180th Rifle Division seized the Városmajor Grange. Hungarian forces launched a counterattack to stem the Russian tide and regain some key terrain. Supported by Tibor Ratz’s remaining Zrinyi assault guns, the Royal Vannay Flying Squad Battalion attacked the Russians holding Városmajor Grange.
Attacker: Hungarian (Vannay)/Hungarian (Elements Royal Vannay Flying Squad Btn, Europa Flying Squad Btn, and 10th & 16th Assault Artillery Btns)

2022-11-28(D) Andy Bagley vs Luca Martini Hungarian (Vannay)/Hungarian winInteresting scenario; the Russians look hopelessly outnumbered but the Hungarians have limited time and a lot of ground to cover. I still like my plan as the Russians, which was to defend the southern victory building quite lightly but make it look well-defended, then move as many squads as I could from south to north to hold the other buildings. Luck wasn't with me though, and only a couple of defenders made it north, although quite a few Hungarians were tied up in the south early on.
One problem for the Russians is the Hungarian Hetzer; the T34's main gun can't scratch its front armour even with APCR. So my T34-43 was dodging around trying to avoid it, while the FT tank tried to come in from the rear, but fell to a snakeyes roll from a bounding fire shot. A further snakeyes roll broke my 9-1 leader and squad with the HMG, at which point the odds were heavily against me.
I had a bit of luck later when my sniper killed his 9-2 leader and my T34-43 got a Zrinyi Assault Gun, but it was too little too late. The Hungarian hordes charged north and although it went to the last CC phase, the result wasn't really in doubt. Well played by my opponent though, using all of his available resources.
