Overview:

Since early March 6, Panzer-Armee had struggled to overcome the defenses of Marshal Tolbukhin's 3rd Ukrainian Front between Lake Balaton and the Danube. While other units had made little progress towards the initial objective, the Sió Canal, a successful night attack by SS-Panzer-Division 12 "Hitlerjugend" had cleared the strongly held junction of Pinkocz-Puszta. This in turn left the lynchpin of the current defensive belt-the town of Dég-isolated and vulnerable to assault. Taking advantage of the early morning mist, SS-Hauptsturmführer Has Siegel launched his armored group towards the town.. . . From Rate of Fire #17: "This scenario features a heavy metal clash as lower quality SS subject to ELR replacement attack a Soviet held village from two sides. The five games ended up with two German and three Soviet wins. No significant subsequent changes were made, except for a proviso that the rolls for seeing which SU-100s were TI could be made secretly if agreed by the players."

Defender: Russian (233rd Rifle Division and 208th Assault Gun Brigade)
