Perhaps a unit of Western writers, commanding creatures they have created from pure imagination?

This is 1941. After an astounding defeat at the Ebro, where Republican troops aided by the Soviet expeditionary force, consisting of a resurrected Rasputin and 50,000 of his zombies, rolled over the Nationalist defenders almost wiping out the crack Army of Africa - Franco's elite force, the tide has turned in Spain.

Looking in vain for a way to break a long string of defeats, the Nationalists are suddenly approached by the Third Reich asking for permission to land 4 divisions in Malaga. Their task: To take Gibraltar and prevent British intervention in the Mediterranean.

It is during these talks that the Nationalist minister of foreign affairs utters his famous words: "If foreign troops are to make their own war on Spanish soil, Spanish pride will suffer. For this to happen, you will have to pay a high price: Give us nukes or give us mutants!"

Having no nuclear capabilities, the Third Reich leaders dig deep in their secret Bavarian laboratories.

El Torro - inspires awe

The result: genetically manipulated man/bull creatures.

You can field from 0-5 of these powerful creatures in any Nationalist force in SSCW, providing you have at least one officer with a Torreadore background to control these vile beasts.

El Torro - fierce warrior

Fierce close-combat opponents (combat value of Elite/5+), the creatures suffer somewhat from lack of ears. All perception checks are at -2 in open, -3 in towns.

Soon to be released - watch this space!
