Overview:

On 24 July, 1938, General Rojo, Chief of Staff, proposed a diversionary attack to save Valencia. The plan was to attack north of the Nationalist’s salient, to the Mediterranean, forcing a passage across the great Rover Ebro at several points. To accomplish this plan, a new ‘Army of the Ebro’ was created under Modesto, consisting of 5th, 12th and 15th Army Corps, with the 18th in reserve. This force of 80,000 men was supported by 70-80 field batteries, 27 anti-aircraft guns and a much-improved aerial armada augmented by the addition of the Supermosea and Superchato fighters manned by Spaniards who had been trained in Russia. Nationalist troops were taken by surprise across the wide front and such a deep wedge was driven into their lines, that Franco at first considered permitting an advance so deep that a pincer movement would destroy the entire Republican army. He was talked out of this. One place where Nationalist troops functioned in good order was at Asco, where the Merida battalion resisted fiercely, their high unit morale helping to keep order.

2023-09-10(A) Jobbo Fett vs RootinPutin Spanish Nationalist winA terrible start where nothing went right for the attackers, the OBA failed to get anything and troops couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Conversely, the defenders kept rolling low on the IFT shots, never broke, and kept maintaining rate of fire. A bummer of a scenario that left me without 3/4s of my troops by the end of the 2nd Republican turn. A terrible match punctuated by terrible dice. Scenarios with an objective to grab stone buildings with no flamethrowers or means to advance safely are dogwater.
