450106_01b: Counter Stroke to Komarno - [AI Russian Attacker]_Alt - PzC 17 Budapest 45

Komarno, January 6th 1945: Just as the Konrad I offensive was beginning to wind down and stall, the Russians launched their own attack aimed at taking the stream out of further German attack plans. The blow was landed along the north bank on the Danube River by the 6th Guards Tank Army and was aimed at the critical river crossing at Komarno. The Germans were driven back 40 km and were forced to divert the 8. and 20.Panzer divisions to help stem the tide. In the final result, the heavily fortified city of Komarno held and the Soviet attack failed to halt the continuation of the Budapest relief effort. [Size, small] Designer Note: This scenario has been optimized for Human German Defender with the Russian AI on the attack but in this instance the German Player is SIDE 1. The Russian AI attacker will play SIDE #2.
