Operation Spring Awakening

Full version of Operation Spring Awakening 1945. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011

It's 1945, and you are in control of Axis forces tasked with securing the last Axis oilfields located in Hungary and Austria by both retaking the city of Budapest and clearing the western side of the river Danube of the Red Army divisions, which have formed a large beachhead reaching all the way to Lake Balaton.

For Operation Spring Awakening (Unternehmen Frühlingserwachen), you have been given a third of all the Panzer formations on the Eastern Front: two Panzer armies strengthened with King Tiger battalions to launch two spearheads from both sides of Lake Balaton, while the third, weaker attack will be launched from the south.

Although the situation in 1945 was desperate for Germans, just two months earlier, the Wehrmacht successfully carried out a similar offensive called Operation Southwind, clearing out another but smaller Soviet beachhead.

Should you fail to secure these crucial last oilfields, Germany would lose 80 percent of the remaining oil output, dooming the defense of Berlin, and with the fall of Vienna, the last remaining Axis partners would surely drop their weapons.

"German HQ considered the protection of Vienna and Austria as of vital importance and would rather see Berlin fall than lose the Hungarian oil area and Austria"
-- Walter Warlimont

Conflict-Series by Joni Nuutinen has offered highly rated Android-only strategy board games since 2011, and even the first scenarios are still actively updated. The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of. If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the store's comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you. Thanks for understanding!
