2022-03-15(A) Ireneusz Peschke vs Adam W Hungarian winWell done. Not historical, but a short interesting scenario. We changed some things to fit the rules.
1. We cannot have more Commissars than other Leader types in the OB (A25.22)
2. Kfz 4 MG was twin, it cannot be removed.

Changes:
Map: Rows A-X are in play.
Russian OB: Add 7-0 Leader
Hungarian OB: Remove Kfz4; replace one Light Truck with Medium Truck; add one MTR(r) 50

2021-09-08(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Hungarian win
2021-09-08(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Hungarian winDan sprung the ambush and rolled an 11 on his LMG...which broke and didn't leave a fire lane. The Hungarians lost a squad and a truck, but exited their trucks and the battle commenced. The Commissar did a great job until he wounded and the Russians dominated the close combat scene. The Hungarians managed to flank and then break an entrenched 5-2-7 in the final victory location. On Turn 6, the Hungarians occupied the final victory location for the win. Fun scenario.

AAR poster implies that the scenario is not historical. This is not accurate. This scenario is taken directly from Osprey Publishing's Combat Series: Volume 57 Hungarian Soldier vs. Soviet Soldier. Pages 36 - 41 provide the detail. Additionally, an entire color plate is included of the action from both Hungarian and Soviet viewpoints. As a scenario designer, I strive for scenarios based on historical situations. In those cases where a scenario is based on a hypothetical situation, I will note that. Grumble Jones
