The players swopped sides this time, although the Nationalists prevailed again. Despite having superior armour, one of the Republican T26s permanently broke down, whilst a Nationalist captured T26 took out an enemy armoured car and performed a solo flanking manoeuvre. The highlight of the encounter was probably the when the CV33 tankettes came out fighting by machine gunning and 'flamethrowing' an International Brigade Company caught out in the open, completely annihilating them.
In the end the better quality of the Nationalists, and slightly better infantry support weapons, ensured another victory for the Francoists. !Viva Espana!

Very nice looking game! My apologies if I missed it but what rules were you using? |

We use Rapid Fire rules with some SCW features incorporated – tanks breaking down; morale versus 'expertise' (eg: Militia have high morale but low expertise); dynamite throwers; indirect fire deviation etc |

Sounds like the reasons for victory in your battle could sum up the entire war. |

I loved the game! I'm doing the SCW in 20mm using Condray's range and Minarons items.
Thanks
