Overview:

As the Red Army steamrolled towards Hungary, heavy German tank formations were increasingly rare. By the end of September, Cavalry-Mechanized Group Pliyev had crossed the border near Oradea, and was threatening the agricultural center of Debrecen. To make matters worse for the Axis cause, many Hungarian units were beginning to defect to the Soviet side. The Germans needed a victory to stop this, and the 6th Armee under General Maximillian Fretter-Pico reformed with three Panzer Divisions just as Marshal Malinovsky was driving into Hungary's northeastern plains with the three corps of Cavalry-Mechanized Group Pliyev. Neither side was aware of the other's disposition as Germany's campaign to save her last ally reached fever pitch.

2024-11-17(D) Nicolas Leste-Lasserre vs Russian win8 hrs
2024-09-19(D) Justin DiSabatino vs A Russian winGermans were off to a strong start, Group 1 entering first with the German AFVs moving to occupy the Russian AFVs north/north-east of the village. The German infantry moved along the southern edge towards the hills to enter the village from the south. On Turn 2, Group 2 took a similar tack to try to keep the Russian AFVs focused elsewhere so the infantry could make the village. The HIP Russian 57LL took out a Tiger and PzIVJ, blunting Group 2's support and letting the Russian AFVs start to encircle and eliminate the German AFVs.

The AFV battle lasted until Turn 5, at which point all of the AFVs but one Russian T-34/85 remained and moved to harass the rear of the German advance. The German infantry had been stymied by the collapsing Russian defense and was too slow to take the necessary buildings, falling two short.
2023-09-23(A) Bob McKenna vs Lou Padilla Russian winGerman infantry bogged down outside the town. German immobilized tank took out a few T34. Russians knocked out a Tiger. Too many 628 in the town. Russians win, great planning.
2023-06-15(A) Andreas R vs Jenny German win
2023-01-28(D) Craig Renier vs Bob W Russian winThe German tanks easily cut down the Russian AFVs, but the infantry was slow to close the distance to the VC buildings. Trying to make up time, the German infantry made risky moves and paid the price. With few good order squads facing numerous GO Russian squads in stone buildings, the Germans conceded.
