WWII Eastern Front - A Sad Day for Fine Art and Antique Furniture

Romania 1944
The Romanians went from neutrality, to an alliance with the Axis, through to switching sides to join the allies, during the course of the war. This battle represented the point at which the Romanians turned on their German and Hungarian allies and stood in the way of their attempted retreat form the oncoming Soviet hordes.
In our battle, the Axis commanders were confused as to whether they should try to break through the Romanian lines, or defeat them in open battle. The Romains managed to hold back their former allies (using some of their gifted armour and equipment!) through clever use of AT guns, and a certain degree of defence in depth.

September 1939
A dismounted Polish cavalry formation desperately defend a treeline against the surging German panzers. Towards the end of the game, the Poles had lost most of their anti-tank capability and their infantry defending the village were hard pressed.
Two players were left to finish the game as the rest of us left the club for the evening, so we are unsure of the final result. Either way, some great early war armour on display!

Escape from Budapest
In this hard fought scenario, a rag tag group of Germans and Hungarians make an attempt to break out of the encirclement of Budapest and make for Vienna. The Axis remnants, which included some Panthers, Stugs, infantry and cavalry formations, were further hindered by truck loads of wounded personnel.
Despite being significantly outnumbered by the Soviets lying in wait for them, somehow a handful of Germans and Hungarians managed to escape off board, including some cavalry, infantry and a truck load of wounded men.
