Overview:

As the Red Army steamrolled towards Hungary, heavy German tank formations were increasingly rare. By the end of September, Cavalry-Mechanized Group Pliyev had crossed the border near Oradea, and was threatening the agricultural center of Debrecen. To make matters worse for the Axis cause, many Hungarian units were beginning to defect to the Soviet side. The Germans needed a victory to stop this, and the 6th Armee under General Maximillian Fretter-Pico reformed with three Panzer Divisions just as Marshal Malinovsky was driving into Hungary's northeastern plains with the three corps of Cavalry-Mechanized Group Pliyev. Neither side was aware of the other's disposition as Germany's campaign to save her last ally reached fever pitch.

2021-04-13(D) Craig Renier vs Rich Matheson Russian winThe German initial push was shocked when the Russian AT gun revealed behind the German AFVs, taking out one. This was followed by an aggressive Russian movement bringing tanks to bear against the other two German AFVs advancing from the East wreaking both before Turn 3 was over. The Russians were less effective on the West, but did eliminate one Panzer. Without armor, the German infantry on the East side was cut down as they tried to cross open ground to any cover they could find. By Turn 4 the Germans had few Good Order squads remaining and still needed to capture 7 buildings.
2021-02-24(A) Jonathan Townsend vs Myself Russian winDespite knocking out most of the Russian tanks the Germans lost through just not quite having enough time.
It just goes to show that the harrassing action of the Russian tanks, despite resulting in great losses to themselves, was a very useful tactic in that the German tanks could not all concentrate on infantry support.
2021-01-11(D) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier Russian winThe German big tanks did a number on all the Russian tanks, eventually knocking the last one out on Turn 5 with a PSK. The German advance was cautious and the Russians stayed out of the line of fire for the most part. So, most of the Russian infantry were still in the village towards the end. It was a great game that lasted several VASL sessions.
2021-01-03(D) Raoul Duke vs BS Russian winOne of the better Starter Kit scenarios. Lots of INTENSE combined arms action.
2020-10-14(D) Scott Fischbein vs Bill Burtt Russian winFun scenario with lots of big tanks... Bill's Tigers and Panthers dominated the tank battles, with my Russian AFVs completely eliminated by turn 5. But the Russian infantry had a good supply of vodka on hand to help keep their morale up. Things were looking a bit desparate for them in the final German turn when 5 tanks crashed into the building victory locations, followed by some troops attempting to pile on the CC scrum. Luckily my gun, which had not seen much action previosly, roared into life, getting something like 8-9 shots, including a crit on the frontal armor of a Panther, and wiping out a stack of two squads and a leader. It came down to 5-6 close combats, of which Bill needed to win 3-4, and he couldn't quite get it done. Tough scenario for the Germans even with the balance.
