This was my first game of PG. it took me a couple turns to get used to the process of integrating tactics in to the system, but in the end it was a very enjoyable experience. The Hungarians had to be slow and steady in their pounding of the crossing on each flank, being wary of the village in the center also. During the first half of the game, OBA and arty was the order of the day, finally hitting the forward Soviet positions enough to finally allow for crossings that wouldn't be hammered with direct fire fire or arty. Once secured, the crossings went relatively well. The biggest mistake by the Soviets was keeping so many units forward for so long. Instead of pulling back, the forward line tried to hold the crossing points and were all but eliminated. That resulted in just enough losses that made it impossible for the Soviets to hold out for the victory. It was a very close run, but the Hungarians pulled this one out.
