Superior quality, but outnumbered, Spanish forces need to hold on to their ground against the wave of Soviets.

Soviets advanced from the north as the Spanish were awaiting in and around the two towns.

The Soviets, with the help of OBA, aircraft, and mortars eliminated all the Spanish not hiding in towns and proceeded to assault the northern town. The Spanish in the southern town watched on and took artillery hits.

The Soviet losses were high, but the victory condition of inflicting 12 steps seemed inevitable. Eventually, a lucky mortar strike eliminated the Spanish 75mm IG and the battle was won.

The Spanish managed to inflict approximately 30 steps against the Soviets, including one and a half platoons of T-34s.

This scenario, as is, seemed doomed for the Spanish from the start. There was also very little room for Spanish movement, as the 6 town hexes were the only places where the Spanish were somewhat protected from the significiant Soviet artillery.

If there was more "options" for the Spanish, than to sit back and be pulverized, and if there were "updated" victory conditions, such as the VP method often used in France and Cassino, this scenario could be much better. As it stands, it wasn't very exciting.

Rating 2/5.
