Taking advantage of a weakened Slovak Army, the Hungarians push into Slovak territory. The Slovaks need to defend their towns and roads. Hungarian victory is only assured if no undemoralised units are present in Slovak town or road hexes.

The Slovaks prepare a defensive line in the second town (contrary to other setups where a more foward posture is taken).

As tne action takes place at night, it takes more than 1 hour before the Hungarians can see the Slovak units. This time differential will prove to be crucial. Further, initial attacks by the Hungarians disclose that the Slovak leadership has not suffered from the loss of the Czecks, rather there are two excellent Slovak leaders and one mediorcre one (whose job is to manage the reserves)

The reserves entrench on the hill to the rear, whilst the bulk of the Slovak force hunker down in the town and surrounds.

Once contact is made the Slovaks demoralise 2 Hungarian machine gun units (one to never be seen again)and this sets the tone for the engagement. The Hungarians continue to pound away at the Slovak units in and near the town to little effect - mostly due to strng leadership - and defensive fire from the Slovaks disrupt the Hungarians time after time.

Once dawn breaks, the Hungarians have collected themseves and assault the town, but it is too little ,too late. Superb Slovak leadership keeps the Hungarians at ay, despite severe losses, and the Slovaks win a minor victory - 3 Slovaks steps lost to 1 Hungarian.

Lessons learnt - Night attacks are difficult and town assualts are no picnic either
