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.

2020-10-29(A) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall Russian winMy plan was to isolate the Russians in the Board 20 building, hit it hard, and sweep up to wrest them out of the Board 51 buildings. I drove my Zrinyis up to the big building, only to forget I couldn't shoot up to Level 2. My Panther was probably a bit too respectful of his T-34, but I had great fear of him finding APCR7. Since Plan A with my Zrinyis developed a hiccup, I then used them to smoke him out. But it wasn't until Turn 3 that I was able to storm it safely, and then it wasn't until Turn 5 that I was able to finally clear things up in CC. This delay would probably be the key to my undoing. I made my moves against his OT-34 on Turn 5, as it was doing a good job of keeping my southern infantry at bay with its FT. No surprise, my Zrinyi bogged while smashing into the stone building in front of it, and my Panther was knocked out by the FT while moving in close. This did allow a clear path for my fanatic squad and a leader to move up and dispatch it in CC though Unfortunately he was able to create a wall of bodies around one VC building that I was unable to reach. Had my bogged tank come loose I probably would've been at least able to tie up all his MMCs in melee. Not a bad little scenario.
2020-06-30(D) Andy Beaton vs Spencer Armstrong Hungarian winRussian heroics and the comedy of a Zrinyi falling into a basement got the game to the last defensive fire phase, but there was no stopping the Hungarian avalanche.
