Overview:

In early March, 1945 after the conclusion of Operation Konrad, the Germans launched Operation Spring Awakening in yet another of the German efforts to hold onto Hungary. Caught up in this action was Soviet Lt. Valentin Krulik. Krulik was attached to a Motorized Unit of the Soviet 6th Guard Tank Army. As elements of the German 23rd Panzer Division moved towards them, Krulik and his men dug in to try and hold a small village as best they could. But some good luck came their way. As a Soviet 85L AT Gun Crew was passing through the village, Krulik flagged it down and convinced the AT Gun Crew to support their defense. The leader of the gun crew was covered in medals and was confident his gun would be the support that Krulik and his men needed to hold their position.

2026-10-20(A) Kermit Mullins vs Connor Mullins German win3 hrsFirst playing of the scenario - face to face using VASL on shared computer. Fun scenario...my Germans were successful in pushing along the Russian left. Russian LMG snake the result roll on a kill attempt on a halftrack knocking it out. Snakes on both sides made for some exciting moments. 85L AT Gun knocked out the 250/9 half-track, but the crew would be eliminated by small arms fire. One of the three Panzerfausts would be fired and knocked out MKIV. The Russian 9-1 and a 4-4-7 went Berserk after snaking the the self rally on the final Russian phase. If they could take the adjacent victory location from a German half-track and 4-4-7 with an LMG...they would win the game. It was not to be...they were KIA'd as they entered the hex for the German win. Played better than I had imagined it would.
