Overview:

Since the beginning of the siege on 25 December, German and Hungarian forces on the Buda side of the Danube had built their defenses around a series of hills located a few kilometers west of the river. By the middle of January, several of the westernmost hills had been captured by the Soviets. The Axis forces were thus required to fall back and form a new Hauptkampflinie (HKL, or “main line of resistance”) which now included the Kis-Svábhegy hill. On 24 January, Soviet units from the 320th Rifle Division under the command of Colonel Josef Burik attacked from the northwest in another attempt to wrest control of this important feature from the Axis defenders.
Attacker: Russian (320th Rifle Division)
Defender: Hungarian / German (SS) (Hungarian Galántai Gendarmerie Battalion and German SS-Kavallerie-Regiment 16, SS-Kavallerie-Division 8 "Florian Geyer")

2019-01-08(A) Tom Kearney vs Lindsey murillo Russian winThe Soviets refused a flank and attacked along the right side. The Hungarian troops were qiickly eliminated and the Soviets pushed deep into the Axis lines. The Soviet 9-2 leader directed the support by fire element with the remaining Russians conducting assaults. By turn five the Germans were reeling and the Soviets had little in their way. This scenario is an example of why a defender needs a reserve.
