Near Cegled, 60km SE of Budapest, November 3rd 1944: The Soviet 2nd Mech had paused for a day to regroup after the Axis armor had mauled them. Since then, with the help of 27 Gds Rifle Corps, they had steadily pressed the stubborn Axis defense back. SE of the capital, near Cegled, the line stretched along the Ujbrok stream and Gerje river, but the Soviets had paid a high price to get that far and were stretched pretty thinly along the stream. A 23rd Pz Division KG, primarily armor, were to attack across the stream to the south west, to cut off Soviet units further north and restore a more stable line.

A quick playing and relatively interesting small Budapest '45 scenario. The German player needs to rapidly advance the 23rd Panzer Division KG to secure at least one of the 50 VPs while guarding against the inevitable Russian armored counter attack. As with the majority of PzC small scenarios, all units play critical roles and smart unit placement is essential to win. A German Minor Victory is achievable without going after the remaining 50 VP's or the Cegled 150 VP. This can result in some gamey play as the German player can withdraw units during the end turns and force the Russian to endure opportunity fire and losses as he moves adjacent to engage the German units. Decent scenario for players looking for a quick game and straight forward tactics. Not much replay value.
