Blunting the Spearhead


Sar Egres, Hungary, March 9th, 1945: Hitler's final offensive, Spring Awakening was at its peak. After the
6th SS Panzer Army broke through two Russian defensive lines, the lead elements of the 23rd Panzer, 506th 
Heavy Tank Battalion came upon a third. However this Russian line was prepared and armed with anti-tank
weapons. The piercing of the third defensive line was critical if the SS was to reach the Danube.


Game Length: 9 Turns

For the Germans to win they must capture 5 Victory locations through the Russian's 3rd defensive line
For the Russians to win they must stop the Germans from penetrating the 3rd defensive line before the Danube.

Aftermath: The 23rd Panzer unit stalled, tanks bogged down due to the mud. Nevertheless, Sar Egres was cleared 
at a high loss to the Germans. These high losses blunted the attack and Spring Awakening ended a few days later.
