Overview:

As part of the effort to seize Madrid, Franco aimed to cut off the municipal water supply and electricity by blocking the Corunna Road, the capital city's primary lifeline to the north. With this aim in mind, the Nationalists assembled 17,000 men, backed by 4 mobile brigades, batteries of 155mm howitzers and air support in the form of Ju-52 bombers. The first objective was the village of Boadilla del Monte, which the Nationalists pummeled with heavy artillery and air strikes prior to the assault.

2022-06-14(D) Jeff B vs Joe Arthur Republicans winYet another HazMo scenario that (almost) went to the very end. And yet another that's just not very fun to play. Nationalists pushed with all their might for a hold in the south, establishing a firm foothold, but not without losing 1.5 squads. This left many green Republicans scrambling to reposition in some nasty muddy terrain. On Turn 2, with the help of their unopposed armor, the N's were able to expand their hold to the northern edge of the church. By the end of Turn 3 most of the straggling R's were able to make it to the edge of the W road. Meanwhile their tanks came in from the south, unable to dispatch the elusive Panzer in the area after it kicked into motion, but staying out of sight from the many N MGs. A few infantry accompanied them, but most came on in the northwest, with a full stack of squads breaking from a lucky 2+2 shot. The two DC attempts on the other two in-motion Panzers failed miserably, but both would be dealt with via street fighting on the next turn while making their way along the meandering road. Meanwhile in the south the invading R infantry dealt with the few N's in their way, but at the cost of a squad and another HS broken never to return. The tanks moved up to the hedgerow, ready to pound the N's and risking their MG fire. On Turn 5 The last remaining N tank broke its gun, the R tanks inched up even further (while breaking two of their MAs), and the R infantry continued to push in from the north. By this time the N infantry were being squeezed into just a few safe hexes, and were forced to lose concealment due to the broken infantry overstacking on their routs. The next two turns I could feel my opponent gasping his last breaths as my anaconda-like force continued to inexorably squeeze him. His tank repaired its MA, but it was too little, too late as his last two good order MMCs broke under withering fire.
2022-03-18(A) nathan wegener vs Peter Ward Republicans winMM2022 fun premise - i rolled lots of 10's and my opponent played well and rolled lots of 4's... it was ugly
2022-01-09(D) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske Nationalists win
2022-01-09(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Nationalists winThis was a great scenario; it had a great flow with the Nationalists attacking and then having to hold off a substantial counter-attack. Burning tanks, a successful use of a DC against a tank, and lots of HtH CC! The game came down to the last two CCs, Dan winning the one but only CRed my final squad with the Nationalists able to eliminate all the Republicans in that melee, giving them the victory by a half-squad.
