Overview:

While the Red Army was hammering at Pest for over six weeks, the inhabitants of Buda were still preparing for Christmas festivities, albeit subdued ones. On Christmas Day, however, they were surprised by the sudden appearance of Russian armored reconnaissance forces at the Janos Hospital, less than two miles from the Royal Palace. A company from the 1st Technical University Battalion was the first unit to clash with the Russians in Buda.

2024-07-16(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. Hungarian winPretty vanilla game. Just take/defend a lone building in the back of the playing area. As the Hungarians, I didn't do anything special. The T-34's were set up to interdict the Zrinyis, but probably slightly too far forward. I was able to get squads in PF range and took a bunch a potshots. I took some losses, but I bagged both tanks by turn 2. This freed up the Zrinyis to freeze and interdict the Russians. I lost two of the tanks due to Street Fighting, but they did their job. This allowed me to run up a bunch of squads to the west of the victory building and eventually force my way in. The Russians were a bit spread out, so I was able to easily have an advantage in squads in the building in the end.

I think this one favors the Russians. If they keep the T-34's back far enough to avoid the PF's, their mere presence alone will slow everything down. Couple that with a strong fallback strategy and the Hungarians should run out of time. The one saving grace for the Hungarians is the +2 broken side morale. This means even broken conscripts (due to ELR break) have a good chance of returning quickly. In fact, without this special rule, I think the Hungarians almost stand no chance of winning. Overall, there is really is nothing about this scenario that says "play me". I'd say you could safely skip this one unless you absolutely have to play all the official AH/MMP scenarios. You won't be missing anything if you do.
2023-07-06(D) A Fifteen vs John Garlic Hungarian win
2022-12-29(A) Vic Lauterbach vs Ben Lootens Russian winBen's excellent setup that included T-34/85s in stone buildings stymied my attack. I got some SMOKE from the AGs, but crossing the I hexrow road and a bloody fight for building J1 still cost me one AG and a lot of squads. By the end of GT3, I didn't have enough GO MMC for a second attack on building H1 much less a push for VC building B2, so we called it a solid Russian win. Well played by Ben, but my two-prong attack left both forces too weak. This one calls for a very skilled attacker.
2021-10-13(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Russian winRussians held steady in the VC building.
2020-07-19(A) Alberto González Ramírez vs Javier G. Russian winVery tough for the Hungarians.
I made a very bad use of my AFVs.
