Overview:

The 6th Panzer Army was conducting defensive operations east of Wiener Neustadt after retreating north from Lake Balaton. SS-Brigadeführer Hellmuth Becker's much depleted 3rd SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf" was directed to conduct a local counterattack at Horitschon to rescue the beleaguered 587th Grenadier Regiment, 320th Volksgrenadier Division that was about to be encircled by the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Corp. Becker sent a small Kampfgruppe (under the command of Obersturmführer Wenke) which included Totenkopf's last operation Tiger tanks, two Sturmgeschütze and some of Haupsturmführer Reide's halftrack-mounted panzer grenadiers to rescue the Heer troops in Horitschon. A violent tank-verses-tank action erupted.

2025-02-12(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Maurizio Grassi Russian winI prevented Maurizio's German from exiting the map. Interesting scenario with many options for both parts.
2025-01-25(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Fabio Mazzucchelli German/German (SS) winVery tricky VC.
I think that in order to win the russian has to prepare well in advance for interdizione against the exit of 587 rgt.
2024-11-09(D) Dave Mareske vs Jeff Pask Russian winTough dice against the Germans as they broke two Tiger MA, but the infantry stepped up and knocked out two T34/85s, with one to go in the last CC phase, needed a 7 to eliminate the last Russian tank and failed with a 9. The Germans were effective in keeping the Russians out of the building, though had to break and CC them in the last turn as well.
