Szekesfehervar, 60km SW of Budapest, January 18th 1945: By the 12th of January, the refocused German attack that was to become known as Konrad II had ground to a halt and the SS Troops had been ordered to withdraw. By the 14th, the Soviets had reoccupied Dobogoko and Pilisszentkereszt. The offensive it seemed had ground to a halt. But the Germans were not done yet. Under the utmost secrecy they redeployed held the line, they redeployed IV SS Panzer Korps to the south in the Szekesfehervar sector, just north of Lake Balaton. Here they combined with King Tiger Tanks of the s.Pz.Abt.509 to spearhead the final drive to rescue the encirclement at Budpest. [Size, large]

An interesting battle, German strength and speed against Soviet mass. The German player can\'t get stuck in a stand up fight or attrition will wear them out, the Soviets have a tough time dealing with German armor without massing everything against it.
