2017-11-08(D) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall Hungarian winThis one is all about the setup and which building the Russians choose to assault the hardest. I bought the maximum mines and wire and placed a ring around the western building, manning the building itself with a light infantry garrison. On either side I placed MGs to lay fire lanes. I placed my last wire counter in front of the southernmost bridge, a dummy in the building adjacent, and a MG to lay a fire lane on any units crossing. I figured even if the Russians jumped off their assault in the center it would take them at least a couple turns to wade through all this, and then I gambled on my heavier infantry garrison there holding the fort with the assistance of all three tanks. As it turns out my opponent went for the western building, stumbling into trap after trap. I must have averaged 4-5 on my minefield rolls (and there were a lot). The coup de grace came when he finally gained a foothold in the building. I used my last remaining tank to freeze him and hit him with a DC. After everything in the stack broke he conceded at the end of Turn 4. Quite a fun scenario, but I do think it is a bit hard on the Russians.
