Beginning on 30 December, units of the Soviet 108th Guards Rifle Division’s 311th Guards Rifle Regiment, supported by SU-76Ms from the 1897th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment, launched a series of attacks from the area around St. Janos Hospital in an effort to dislodge the Axis defenders from the Városmajor Grange.

2024-07-26(D) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. Hungarian (Vannay)/ German (SS) winThis scenario ended quickly as hot dice from my Hungarians broke or killed any Russians getting close to the rail line. Too many Russians massed towards the railroad bridge made for easy pickings. It was a strong gambit that backfired. Although I like to concentrate my forces when I attack as well, with so little time, I think the Russians need to split their forces, be aggressive, and try and put the Hungarians on their heels. No matter the strategy, though, I do think this one is very tough for the Russians.

2022-04-11(D) A Fifteen vs Dave Reenstra Russian win
2022-03-04(D) Richard Jenulis vs Dennis Hess Hungarian (Vannay)/ German (SS) winThe game ended at the top of turn 3. The Russians were obliterated entering the board. At the end of the game, the Russians had only two and a half squads and two leaders in good order, The Hungarians lost only a half squad. Albeit, the Hungarians had very hot dice, but still would rate this pro-Axis.
