Budapest Campaign - Street Fighting in Pest

Image
Budapest Campaign – Street Fighting in Pest Scenario eight of the Budapest Campaign and the Soviets are finally well inside the city.  Another offensive mission for the Soviets but one that sees all table quarters having scoring value which will force the Axis to be at least a little offensive.  Interestingly casualties are non-scoring in this scenario so it’s going to be all about aggression and clearing table quarters.  For novelty value Uri is on the subs bench this time and his Romanian cousin Uriescu will be taking a Romanian infantry platoon into the fight. Uriescu’s Romanian Assault Platoon Scenario 8 – Street Fighting in Pest – 1000 points – Romanian Allies vs Budapest Defenders. Allied Romanian Infantry Division Reinforced Platoon:   2Lt.  Regular – x1 runner. FOO.  Artillery Observer. Late War Infantry Section. 10x Regulars, 4x SMG, 1x LMG, 1 Pz Faust.
