Scenario BluD002

A small scenario with smaller, but higher morale Spanish against Russians at night. The Russian set up is pretty much determined by the scenario instructions, with the HMG's placed closer to the west edge. The Spanish basically form two equal maneuver groups. The Spanish enter from the western edge with the intention of circling the closer town and linking up between the two towns on the western board. The Spanish must take all the town hexes on the western board for a victory (6 town hexes). Since the Russians cannot move until the Spanish enter a town hex, and the visibility is only 1 hex, the first several turns pass quickly as the Spanich forces circle the first town. The Spanish stay out of visibility until the two forces can make their final approach on the towns. One force is sent against the two hex town, and the other against the 4 hex town. The Spanish try to soften up the adjacent town hexes using direct fire for several turns before assaulting. The Russians reposnd with direct fire, but achieve little against the high morale Spanish. Finally, the Spanish begin to assault town hexes. With their higher morale and leaders, the penalty for assaulting a town is neutralized. However, entering the town allows the other Russian forces to move. Assaults continue on both towns, and the Spanish finally take the 2 hex town, and two of the hexes in the other town. The Russians from the eastern board soon reinforce the defenders in the 4 hex town. The Spanish place the remaining two hexes needed for victory under assault. These assaults continue for several turns, but the Spanish are unable to dislodge all the Russians before time runs out. The Russians have lost more steps than the Spanish, however, so the result is a draw.
