Overview:

The Nationalists' offensive started with a heavy artillery bombardment on the 14 December and Franco's troops occupied the town of Boadilla del Monte. As a countermeasure, the Republicans sent a detachment of Russian tanks led by General Pavlov and two International Brigades (XII and XIV) at Boadilla and re-occupied it. Yet they finally became cut-off in the town by Nationalist counterattacks, and took a defensive stance.
Attacker: Nationalist (Moroccan Tabors and Spanish Foreign Legion)
Defender: Republican (Edgar André and Ernst Thälmann Battalions, XI International Brigade and the Aranjuez Group)

2022-07-27(A) Shane Pask vs Nationalist winTurn 1 saw the snowfall become heavy and it stayed that way for the whole game. The Nationalists quickly drove forward and controlled everything south of the bridge (and the bridge) by turn 4. When the Republicans regained the bridge, the game was very close. On the last turn I launched an ineffective assault on the Republican village and grabbed one building but was easily expelled by the Republicans on their last turn. The western surge by the Republicans was largely repulsed but 1 CX squad made it to a building held by 1 Nationalist squad. It was immediately ambushed but the CC was inconclusive. That left the bridge: Republicans needed to capture the building just over the bridge for a tied game. The two T26s nearby did their job and broke the occupants. The Republicans had 3 squads and a leader within range but with limited approach routes due to extensive smoke, two lingering Panzers plus two wrecked Panzers - 1 burning on the bridge, and a squad with a DC. The DC was thrown well enough to break the leader and pin EVERY squad to keep the building in Nationalist hands for the win.
