Budapest, 3 Jan 1945: The city of Budapest was encircled on 26 Dec 1944. Like Stalingrad, Hitler ordered the city to hold at all cost as several relief attempts were hastily thrown together. But for the defenders, the noose tightened. The siege of Budapest was a long a bloody affiar where the ground was measured in metres, not Kilometers.[Size, medium] Designer Note: This scenario is a historical setup which shows a desperate slugfest for Budapest. The fighting could have continued weeks longer and eventually result in the same outcome. The scale of the Panzer Campaign series was never designed to model street-fighting such as this, yet we feel it is necessary to include this scenario to illustrate the full story of the fighting in Hungary in the early part of the last year of the war.
