Overview:

Now it was Yugoslavia’s turn to be the center of the German blitzkrieg. Operation MERITA had begun and the country was attacked on all sides. Joining the invasion from the northeast was the Hungarian 3rd Army and its "Mobil Corps." Ostensibly, the Hungarians justified their involvement as defending the Hungarian ethnic minority in the Voivodinia area. As "Group Sandor" advanced through abandoned Yugoslavian positions, it was ordered to push ahead and seize the town of Szenttamás. Retreating Yugoslavian forces were moving across a river bridge into the relative safety of this fortified town. Following closely on their heels were two Hungarian Csaba armored cars, commanded by First Lieutenant Laszlo Beldy.
Attacker: Yugoslavian ("Potiska" Division)
Defender: Hungarian (2nd Armored Car Battalion, 2nd Armored Cavalry Brigade with 12th Cyclist Battery and Engineer Platoon)

2020-11-25(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matt Velazquez Hungarian winInteresting scenario. Maybe a bit spread out defence which allowed for a focused hungarian assault but the main issue for the yugoslavs was that their commander rolled like a suicidal maniac. 3 rally boxcars and a few boxcar MCs and when he finally rolled snakes, it was on a MC which gave Heat of Battle, causing yet another break and disruption. The Hungarians could more or less have a nice swim in the river before walking into the victory area picking up yugoslav weapons.
2020-06-01(D) Shane Pask vs Yugoslavian winDice were against me. 3 cavalry squads drowned crossing the river, the sniper took out all 3 L3 tankettes (stun/recall) and the 8-1 leader. One Csaba was burnt by MMG, other Csaba KOd first turn by AT. One truck was destroyed by MMG after unhooking gun, then crew broken at long range. Other gun didn't last long enough to unhook. All 3 Toldis broke armament, FT out on first shot, MMG and LMG malf. I conceded on Turn 7.
