Wow, been a minute for an AAR! This was based on an action that occurred on November 4, 1944 to the east of Pest in the village of Felsohalom. In this case the Soviet 4th Guards Mech Brig had taken the high ground and was holding it with 4 76mm ATGs, an infantry company (7 sections), 2 Maxim MMGs, and a pair of ATRs. They were not dug in but were able to use terrain to conceal themselves. Reinforcements consisting of a T34/85 plat and a pla of SMG armed tank riders were expected. The Russians could be deployed up to the edge of the village and down to the RR track. The village and center of the table is higher than the ground to the left. Axis had a company of Hungarian infantry, 5 Zrinyi assault guns, a Turan II and a Nimrod. Also a grenadier platoon from the Feldherrnhalle with 2 MMG teams Unfortunately we had to pack up before the Russian reinforcements arrived. 6mm minis and I Ain't Been Shot Mum rules played at GigaBites Cafe in Marietta GA
The idea for this scenario came from the massive Armoured Warfare in the Battle for Budapest book by Norbert Szamveber The pattern in this campaign seems to be a Soviet attack takes a position The Axis counterattack and retake the position. Then the Axis must usually retreat to keep their flanks secure or a lack of reserves prevents them from holding the ground.

That is another great looking and very interesting game, Mark! I always enjoy seeing your AARs. The games always look to be well researched and challenging for both sides. And then there is the eye candy aspect which always draws me it as well.
