Overview:

By February 5, the Soviets had reached the area around Királyhágo tét. Strongly opposed by a mix of German and Hungarian forces, the Soviets would be forced to fight for every building. In addition to their military strengths, the Soviets had initiated psychological warfare tactics, including the use of propaganda leaflets, to wear down the defender’s resolve.
Attacker: Russian (297th Rifle Division and 3rd Tank Brigade, 23rd Tank Corps)
Defender: German (SS) / Hungarian (SS-Kavallerie-Division 8 "Florian Geyer", Panzer-Division "Feldherrnhalle" and Hungarian Central Hungarist Combat Group)

2023-05-12(D) Simon Staniforth vs Ian Morris German (SS) / Hungarian winThe random dr gave my Germans the first move, used the 3PP to buy another squad and was soon up to the required 5 Victory Locations. 2 turns later a Panther was purchased and despite being immobilised this was able to hold one flank whilst the Panzer IV remained in the back field and protected the other. StuG and HT were lost early. Russian assaults had to cross roads or even WCB to get at the Victory Locations and the Germans were just able to hold on with enough GO Units to break the attackers.
