TOURNAMENT RULES:

 

1. SCENARIOS TO PLAY:

 

441031_01a: Counter Punch - [HTH] : Near Kecskemet, 80km SW of Budapest, October 31st 1944: The 4th Gds Mech Bde had pushed through a hole in the Axis lines with little loss. Now they had a good road out through Kecskemet towards Budapest. They had been told to press on hard, as there were few units, except beaten and disorganized troops, between them and the capital. Unknown to them the Axis had scrambled together a small armored Kampfgruppe, with units from 24 Pz Div and remnants of the Hungarian armor. Their task was to hit the Soviet spearhead and block the road to Budapest. (12 TURNS)

 

441103_01a: Sweep round Cegled - [HTH] : Near Cegled, 60km SE of Budapest, November 3rd 1944: The Soviet 2nd Mech had paused for a day to regroup after the Axis armor had mauled them. Since then, with the help of 27 Gds Rifle Corps, they had steadily pressed the stubborn Axis defense back. SE of the capital, near Cegled, the line stretched along the Ujbrok stream and Gerje river, but the Soviets had paid a high price to get that far and were stretched pretty thinly along the stream. A 23rd Pz Division KG, primarily armor, were to attack across the stream to the south west, to cut off Soviet units further north and restore a more stable line. (10 TURNS)
