Death on the Donau | ||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Absolutely brutal game, Red Danube (Scenario #1 from Road to Berlin). Hungarians crossed at the westernmost town (middle of Map 20) early in the game and had rolling firefights around that small village, then in the central open ground, then in the town in the middle of the map and finally capturing the last southernmost town on the left of the map in the final turn. The river crossing in the east (bottom town) really did not go well and the Soviets stopped all crossings on until the very last few turns when the Hungarians managed to get a few units across and chase off the Soviets. Red Army morale just crumbled in the end and there was mass flight. Soviet artillery ran out of munitions early and the Axis did a good job rationing their ammo, keeping a spare salvo to the very end of the game. Soviets lost a battalion of infantry, two mortars, 5 MMGs, an ATG and three leaders (including the CO). Hungarians lost two infantry platoons and two leaders (including the 2iC). And there were a lot more wounded on both sides. |
