H2H scenario - Tank battle in Hungary
Posted: Sun Feb 02, 2003 11:25 pm
Hi all!
I made a scenario for H2H. It is a meeting engagement between German-Hungarian and Soviet forces.
The historical background:
In the autumn of 1944 the Red Army reached the borders of former Hungary. Most of the axis forces in Hungary were located in northern Transylvania and in the Hungarian Plains near the Romanian border. In an attempt to encircle the troops in Transylvania the Soviets attacked in the Hungarian plains in northern direction. The encirclement almost succeded,but the Germans had their plans too.The plan was to temporarily re-occupy the city of Nyiregyhaza located in the north-eastern part of the Hungarian plains, to open the corridor for the armies trapped in Transylvania.These fights resulted in fierce tank battles because the terrain favored the use of armor.
This scenario represents a meeting engagement west of Nyiregyhaza where a both sides attempt to seize control over a vital road junction.
This is my first scenario, because I like more to play the other people's scenarios. However these events were never mentioned in any Steel Panthers scenario, so I thought it was a good idea to make it more known among the community. I also have to admit that creating a scenario is extremely lot of work, - especially the playtesting.
I give all my acknowledgment to the people who regularly make new scenarios for the community.
Any comments are welcome,
Artur.
