Festung Budapest is planned for release in the first half of 2011. It covers the Russian siege of Budapest against a combined German and Hungarian defender. The battle focuses on the final reduction of the Buda (west) side of the city from January 1 through February 11, 1945.
Units include German Wehrmacht, SS, Hungarian Army (including elite Vannay units), and Arrow Cross militia vs. Russians and Hungarian members of the Buda Volunteer Regiment.
The game will includes 4 historical maps, 9 counter sheets, 2 campaign games, and 16 scenarios. In addition to new Hungarian units mentioned above, counters will include SS infantry 4-6-8s, 5-4-8sm 4-4-7s and their HS (blue only).
Bill Cirillo has been working on this for over ten years, and we are very much looking forward to its successful debut later this year.
