Overview:

The 4th Ukrainian Front’s summer offensive had already liberated most of Galacia. Now the task at hand was to clear out Ruthenia and invade Hungary – perhaps knocking the Axis ally out of the war for good. A major barrier to this plan, however, was the imposing Carpathian mountain range where the Hungarian defenses utilized a series of fortified “lines” covering the mountain passes. Under pressure from the advancing Russians, the Hungarian 1st Army charged with protecting the “Tatar Pass” began withdrawing from the “Prinz Eugene Line” to the “Hunyadi Line”. Helping to cover the withdrawal were two Tiger tanks obtained from the German 503rd Pz Abteilung. The Hungarian crews would now test the two months of training they had just received at Nadworna. Mobile Russian forces were close behind the retreating column, threatening to turn the orderly withdrawal into a rout.

2026-06-25(A) Jeff B vs Jeff Roloff Hungarian win10 hrsStrange scenario. Both Jeff's Tigers were set up in the eastern hills, and he chose to split his force about evenly to cover the east and west. My first entry area was hard west and, unbeknownst to him at the time, this was the area I would focus on the rest of the game. I knocked out a Lang situated on the northernmost Level 2 hill in the west, and immobilized and forced abandonment of a StuG guarding the east/west road on the same hill. There was still a StuG guarding the northern road there, but I was mostly ignoring it and making a board edge creep. Turn 3 saw me start to break a trail through the western woods. Turn 4 saw me exploit this. His eastern force was still holding steady, having to be prepared for a possible entry by my Turn 5 reinforcements. The last two turns had seen no desire by either of us to engage the other, but Turn 5 saw me start to make my move. By the end there was a blazed-up StuG, Turan, another recalled, and two squads and a 6+1 captured. This of course allowed some serious Russian deployment. Turn 6 saw the first Russian casualty when a Turan knocked out one of my T-34s, but it didn't see the end of the turn alive.. Turn 7 saw me make another big push, and 2.5 squads, a 9-1, and another Turan were the casualties. I lost a piddly GAZ-67B. He had of course driven off 5VP worth of trucks earlier, but had not exited anything since. With only three turns remaining, he would need at least three AFVs to prevent me from just making an uncontested beeline for the exit on the board edge, and I had also started driving around the eastern side of the Board 50 hill. Not thinking he would be able to exit enough points and also contain me Jeff decided to throw in the towel. I was thankful too, as this was one of the most boring slog fests I had ever played. Tooz is often a great designer, but sometimes his love of the large can overwhelm him at times.
