Overview:

Axis defenders suffered a serious blow on 26 December when the Soviets captured one of Budapest’s largest supply depots, resulting in the loss of approximately 300,000 daily rations and 450 tons of ammunition. To complicate matters, the main airport was seized early in the battle by the Soviets. The Germans converted some locations into temporary airfields. With the impending fall of the Pest side of town, the last makeshift airfield was positioned along the Vermezo just to the west of Castle Hill.
Attacker: Russian (297th Rifle Division)
Defender: German (SS) / Hungarian (Vannay) (SS-Kavallerie-Regiment 16, SS-Kavallerie-Division 8 "Florian Geyer", Kampfgruppe Europa and Hungarian Vannay Battalion)

2015-03-03(D) Andy Beaton vs mark watson German (SS) / Hungarian (Vannay) winDice fairly even, but all the Axis 2's led to CC leader generation, while the Russian 2's led to Berserkers running around in the open. Russians sustained too many casualties to get enough packages
