Description: Throughout the autumn of 1944, the Axis forces in the Carpathian Basin were fighting for their very existence. Campaign: Fortress Budapest will inspire and guide you through the entirety of this particular conflict and on to many more victories with your Bolt Action forces!What is this book?The Siege of Budapest, the Soviet invasion of Hungary that led up to it, and the desperate German offensives to relieve the city covered kilometres of frontline; these battles lasted eight months and involved hundreds of thousands of combatants. Within the 168 pages of this impressive resource, the authors have squeezed in a variety of very different scenarios for players.Fortress Budapest is the latest Campaign expansion to Bolt Action Second edition. Whilst there is historical detail within the narrative, this volume is not a history book – it is first and foremost an impressive wargaming supplement. The intention of the author Bryan Cook and the team who put this book together was to provide a good mixture of scenarios, new units, and new rules whilst still giving some historical background for context. Some previously published rules and units have also been reprinted – this is to save players the expense of buying additional books for content which is vital to this volume, but might form only a small part of other books.What's in this book:Packed with history Fortress Budapest contains complete scenarios, additional special rules, army lists, new units and of course the all-important complete theatre selectors.Fighting for TransylvaniaScenario 1: Hold the Ojtózi PassThe Battle of TordáThe Red Army ArrivesDirect Assault on TordáScenario 2: Into the Valley of DeathCounter-attack at DebrecenOperation DebrecenCoup in BudapestScenario 3: Operation DebrecenA Phone Call With StalinEncirclementOperation BudapestFortress KecskemétScenario 4: Flak-Regiment 133Breakout Under MoonlightChaotic RetreatThe Attila LineScenario 5: The Attila LineBreakthrough at PestszentimreScenario 6: Counter-attack at PestszentimreEnter the 3rd Ukrainian FrontFestung BudapestSS IX Mountain CorpsGerman Strength in BudapestScenario 7: The Back Door Left OpenThe First Assault on PestScenario 8: Street Fighting in PestBlock by BlockScenario 9: Withdrawal Across the DanubeRelief AttemptsScenario 10: Operation Konrad IOperation Konrad IIScenario 11: Operation Konrad IIILast Stand in BudaVárosmajor GrangeScenario 12: Farkasréti CemeteryScenario 13: The Buda HillsScenario 14: Supply DropThe End is NighScenario 15: The Last RedoubtThe Breakout AttemptSacrificed for the ReichOperation Spring AwakeningHitler’s Last GambleScenario 16: Death Ride of the PanzersNew UnitsInclude; German, Hungarian, Soviet and RomanianNew Theatre Selectors:For GermanyPanzer Kampfgruppe Armoured Platoon1944–45 Panzergrenadier Reinforced PlatoonPanzer Reconnaissance Reinforced PlatoonHeavy Anti-aircraft battery Reinforced PlatoonIV SS Panzer Corps Armoured Platoon6th SS Panzer Army Armoured PlatoonFor HungaryCarpathian Mountains Border Guards Reinforced PlatoonAssault Artillery Battery Armoured PlatoonHungarian Armoured Field Division Armoured platoonFor Hungary & GermanyBudapest Pocket Defenders Reinforced PlatoonFor Soviet UnionGuards Mechanised Brigade Armoured PlatoonForward Detachment Reconnaissance Party Reinforced PlatoonUrban Assault Group Reinforced PlatoonSoviet Anti-tank Strongpoint Reinforced PlatoonFor Romania1944 Allied Romanian Infantry Division Reinforced PlAdditional Special Rules:City FightingBuildingsSewer MovementCommand and Control in a City FightCity Siege AssetsMinefields Ships USPS Media Mail.
