Overview:

After the initial assault by the Soviet 108th Guards Rifle Division failed to capture the Városmajor on January 1, the 320th Rifle Division, supported by a half dozen armored vehicles, was ordered to try to seize the City Park. The main defenders of the Városmajor, the Vannay Battalion, had by this time erected three major lines of defense within the park. The Vannay units were supported by elements of Kampfgruppe Europa, headquartered in the Baár-Madas School located just to the north of the Városmajor Park.

2019-01-02(A) Tom Kearney vs Lindsey Murillo Russian winThe Soviets drove across the north edge and evicted the Axis from the victory point buildings. A critical hit on the PaK40 gained more points. The Axis conceded on turn 5.
2017-08-05(A) Gordon Jupp vs Nick Holmshaw Russian winMy second playing of this - went down to the last turn again and just sneaked in by killing a couple of squads to achieve the CVP condition as well as building control ones.
