Scenario BluD002

The Spanish spent the first hour getting into position around the second town. Then they advanced, and were shot at. Then they entered the town to initiate the assault.

And pretty much stayed in assault the rest of the scenario. Outnumbered, the Soviets were able to bring in reinforcements into the assaults, and empty the barracks of four inf units for extra men.

Casualties were gained pretty much 1 for 1, but even with lower morale and breaking more often, the Soviets had sufficient men to replace while their demoralized troops recovered.

Eventualy, the Spanish were at 10 steps lost to 9. And the Soviets shortly after claimed victory despite a last turn assault by the Spanish to try to even the score. Final count 11 to 10.

Soviet Victory.

There may have been options of the Spanish taking out the small town first, but I see no way that they could then have taken out the larger town. Just not enough Spanish troops!

Scenario Rating: 2/5. Interesting situation, and Spanish have choice on where to attack, but once it got bogged down in urban assault it degenerated.
