Flames of War: NUTS August Game

The NUTS group's latest FOW game was set in Hungary during 1944, and featured a mix of Germans and Hungarians taking on three Soviet forces.

We went with 105 point forces this time, which was a different challenge for list building. Dave ran two Soviet 105 point forces, and Gary ran one; taking on my 105 point Hungarians, and Mike and Jim both ran 105 point German forces.

We played our Contested Ground Mission, which forces maneuver and gets to a quick resolution.

Dave managed a draw with Jim, while breaking Mike just as he was about to break himself. Gary and I fought to a draw, with the Hungarians more than holding their own despite Gary's crafty left hook threatening our flank. Great fun!
