Overview:

"The Apex of Mocha" -- As the Negrin government badly needed to win a battle in order to restore its leadership and bring optimism to the rearguard, it was necessary to strengthen the offensive strategy and stop the enemy advance in the North while seeking a partial victory for propaganda purposes. Everything was set for a reactivation of the Madrid front, the only front where the enemy had been defeated, and where the Republican troops were more than average. Rojo thus prepared a general assault wit 80,000 soldiers, all the available aircraft as well as 100 tanks, 30 AFVs and 164 artillery guns. nationalist troops were composed of only 2 Banderas of the Falange, and Army battalion and some other minor units, reinforced by 2 African Tabores brought as reinforcements.
Attacker: Spanish Republicans (Elements of the IIIrd International Brigade, 34th Division)
Defender: Spanish Nationalists (1st and 2nd Companies of the 5th Tabor of Larache and 1st Centuria of the 5th Bandera of the Falange de Castilla)

2023-03-15(D) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett Spanish Nationalists winA very close game that went the distance - if only the attacking Republicans had been able to refrain from breaking at a few key moments, as well as never quite handling the Nationalist HMG on a hill. Ultimately, the game came down to a 6+1 in a woods hex managing to revive an entire flank by himself, thanks to units not being DM'ed permanently. These few troops turned the tide and were able to secure a victory when a desperate CC phase turned against the attackers for the eastern hill. The bombardment pre-game managed to blow up an entire building hex and the defending 8-1 leader promptly broke and immediately died of his injuries during the 1st Rally Phase. A fun game, if dependent on special rules and with, I suspect, a somewhat Nationalist lean on the balance. The balance provisions on the card don't make any sense, as one calls for Nationalist reinforcements to enter later... yet there are none! My suggestion would be to give the republicans the balance, and have the nationalists swap the HMG for an MMG.
