Overview:

The Republicans had decided to clear the Brunete area juts 20 km west of Madrid, using every available (Russian supplied) tank and plane to support a showpiece offensive by the Communist Party’s troops. The attack began at dawn on July 6th, and despite initial success on the first morning, command failure became evident when the leading divisions halted indecisively because follow-up units had not cleared bypassed villages. At Villanueva, despite the presence of many Republican tanks, machine-gun fire from the church tower and other buildings had mown down the ranks of struggling 34th Division infantry. When the spent unit pulled back from the town, dazed with thirst and fatigue, the XVth International Brigade’s British and American battalions were committee to take over the attack.

2022-12-18(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett Spanish Nationalist winAn interesting take on attacking. Neither side has a lot of troops, but the attacker has a daunting 6 T-26s to use and smash against a few machine guns of various sizes and a rare 20L 2rof ATR. The setbacks came a little early for the attacker, having two squads break and be reduced when a very lucky shot from an MMG broke both while concealed in a woods hex
and then the attackers consistently lost a T-26 per turn, blazed, thanks to tremendously deadly accuracy by the defenders
there was an ebb and flow to the match that was palpable thanks to the low unit counts. I would probably house rule the tanks not being able to Voluntarily Abandon, however, to prevent some gameyness, unless that was intended by the designers
