Overview:

While the Red Army was hammering at Pest for over six weeks, the inhabitants of Buda were still preparing for Christmas festivities, albeit subdued ones. On Christmas Day, however, they were surprised by the sudden appearance of Russian armored reconnaissance forces at the Janos Hospital, less than two miles from the Royal Palace. A company from the 1st Technical University Battalion was the first unit to clash with the Russians in Buda.

2020-05-26(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Russian winThe bulk of the Hungarians advanced along the north getting up along the "I" row by turn 2, breaking and pinning the Russians, but both T-85s were able to take out three takes and an ATR immobilized another. Several breaks forced the Hungarians back and were still unable to cross row "I" by Turn 4. Russians had 1 T-85 left after loosing one in close combat. A close game with lots of action from the very start.

2020-01-05(D) Pascal Boileau vs Karim Drici Hungarian winA nice and very fun game. The Russians were overwhelmed by the Hungarians in the last turn. An undisputed Hungarian victory. My first full ASL scenario with vehicles. Many thanks to Karim for his insightful explanations !
2019-04-18(D) Jeff B vs David Murray Russian winThis one was non-stop excitement from start to finish. The Hungarians charged forward in the north, while sending about 1/3 of their force to circle up from the south. The Russians let them come, maintaining concealment until they had a juicy shot. The Russians suffered some early bad luck, Malfing a MA at the start of Turn 2, and breaking the HMG for good the following turn. The MA, despite attempts to do so, never returned to help in the action. The "I" row proved difficult crossing for the Hungarians however, and they weren't able to do so until Turn 3. Their attempt to pave the way with a Zrinyi met with doom when it was dispatched in CC. Without MGs the Russians were not too scared of them, but they did prove their worth by providing smoke cover and forcing the Russians out of position. To feel comfortable the Russians really need to destroy at least two of them but, keeping their fronts to the Russians and with only the one MA, I only managed to take down one. And thus this came down to the wire, with the Hungarians gaining a toehold on the eastern edge of the hospital, only to be dispatched in CC on the following Russian turn. That one-turn delay in crossing the "I" row proved too much, as the Hungarians ended with 4.5 squads to 6.5 for the Russians. Great game against a fun opponent.
