Overview:

With the Soviet Army firmly established on the Oder River and threatening Berlin, Hitler was still obsessed with taking the offensive elsewhere. Hitler decided to launch an attack to create a buffer zone between the Soviet forces near the Danube River and the Nagykanizsa oil fields. Operation Fruehlingserwachen (The Awakening of Spring) began on the night of March 5th. General Tolbukhin's main force was hit hard, and the fighting was fierce. For the next several days, the Germans ground forward adding divisions as they went. German armor battered away at the Soviet right flank where, on the 14th, General Wohler threw in his last reserve formation, built out of the 6th SS Panzer Division and fielding 200 tanks and self-propelled guns, in one final desperate push toward the Danube.

2019-07-29(A) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall German (SS) winWow. Magnus Rimvall and I just had a very short playing of G33 THE AWAKENING OF SPRING. It is a ten turn scenario; Magnus conceded after two. As the Germans I chose the VC of exiting 36 VP. The Germans have a left force and a right force. I set up the left force in the middle to go right. My overall plan was to push the tanks quickly through the main line of resistance and not worry much about the infantry, although I had a few riders. I admit I got lucky with my choice to go right, because the 100L ATG was set up on the German left. It had only one shot at one tank and the gun missed. The 85L ART had several shots at several tanks, but it was not lucky on the TK rolls. I also got lucky with the weather; the falling snow increased to heavy snow on turn one. By the end of the German turn two movement phase, three panthers and two JgPz 5 (with a couple of riders) were in position to exit the map before the Russian turn 3 reinforcements arrived.
