Introduction
The Hungarian invasion did not surprise the Slovaks, but without having replaced Czech officers and specialists their units were still disorganized when the enemy crossed the border at midnight on 22-23 March 1939. The Hungarians weren't in much better shape; the battalions spearheading the advance contained a large proportion of raw recruits. But both sides could count on nationalism and ignorance to fuel their morale.

Introduction

The Hungarians weren't in much better shape; the battalions spearheading the advance contained a large proportion of raw recruits. But both sides could count on nationalism and ignorance to fuel their morale.

Conclusion
The Hungarians caught the Slovaks by surprise, and quickly overran one of the 16th Regiment's companies. The Slovaks fell back in some disorder, and the Hungarians seized the town of Ubla and then marched forward through the darkness. By morning they had reached all of their objectives, and it seemed the Slovaks would not put up serious resistance.

Display Relevant AFV Rules

AFV Rules Pertaining to this Scenario's Order of Battle
Vulnerable to results on the Assault Combat Chart (7.25, 7.63, ACC), and may be attacked by Anti-Tank fire (11.2, DFT). Anti-Tank fire only affects the individual unit fired upon (7.62, 11.0). AFV's are activated by tank leaders (3.2, 3.3, 5.42, 6.8). They may also be activated as part of an initial activating stack, but if activated in this way would need a tank leader in order to carry out combat movement. AFV's do not block Direct Fire (10.1). Full-strength AFV's with "armor efficiency" may make two anti-tank (AT) fire attacks per turn (either in their action segment or during opportunity fire) if they have AT fire values of 0 or more (11.2). Each unit with an AT fire value of 2 or more may fire at targets at a distance of between 100% and 150% of its printed AT range. It does so at half its AT fire value. (11.3) Efficient and non-efficient AFV's may conduct two opportunity fires per turn if using direct fire (7.44, 7.64). Units with both Direct and AT Fire values may use either type of fire in the same turn as their opportunity fire, but not both (7.22, 13.0). Units which can take opportunity fire twice per turn do not have to target the same unit both times (13.0). Demoralized AFV's are not required to flee from units that do not have AT fire values (14.3). Place a Wreck marker when an AFV is eliminated in a bridge or town hex (16.3). AFV's do not benefit from Entrenchments (16.42). AFV's may Dig In (16.2). Prime Movers: Transports which only transport towed units and/or leaders (May not carry personnel units). May or may not be armored (armored models are open-top). All are mechanized. (SB)

Scenario	FSUr002

There was a bit of concern over losing more units than the Slovaks, on the part of the Hungarians, but it was decided to go for the town because they had a fallback objective in clearing the road should they lose more units than they planned. As it turned out the town fell rather easily and the Slovakians lost more units than they could afford to giving the win to the Hungarians. (Note - This scenario is a good one for competitive players.)
