Overview:

The Germans occupied Hungary and placed the Hungarian 1st Army under the control of Heeresgruppe Nordukraine. The Germans then coerced General Geza Lakatos to lead the 1st Army out of the Carpathian Mountains and into Galicia to draw Soviet forces away from the German-Romanian front near Jassy. As part of this operation, Brigadier General Bela Lengyel’s 16th Hungarian Infantry Division was to seize Ottynia. The 1st Assault Gun Battalion reinforced the Hungarian infantry.

2019-09-02(D) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Barsness Hungarian winHungarians pushed hard on their right flank. The Hungarians were able grab the buildings they needed on turn 6 forcing a Russian counter attack. Counter attack failed to take back enough buildings to force the final player turn. Good scenario.
2019-07-24(D) Jeff B vs David Gillies Hungarian winThe Russians have to position their mortar, and possibly a tank, to threaten the deadly Hungarian heavy mortar. It's pretty obvious where the best spot for it should be. Unfortunately for me I chose to place mine to better support my defense of the western part of the village. Without a threat on the Hungarian mortar, the Russians have very few good places to safely hide. They could choose to be aggressive with their tanks, but at a 1:2 disadvantage they could find themselves facing deadly side/rear shots from the Zrinyis (not to mention the very real possibility of a KO from the mortar). So, due to my poor defensive strategy, I was faced with the boring prospect of keeping concealment as long as possible and only shooting until I saw "the whites of their eyes." In the end the Hungarians just had too much firepower and manpower to stop. This was a big, fat dud.
2019-02-20(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso Russian winMeat and Potato scenario, but fun in its own way. Killing those T34 is an interesting exercise.
