A massive Nationalist offensive has caused the International Brigades to retreat. To exploit
the situation, two squadrons of Nationalist cavalry sought to infiltrate, cut off, and 
destroy the Canadian Mac-Pap battalion. The Canadian commander on learning of the situation,
unpacked newly arrived machine guns from thier crates and deployed them to intercept the
advancing cavalry.
**
NOTE: The human player must play the Republican side. There are no objectives and there are
no victory flags to capture or hold. Republican victory is achieved by destroying Nationalist
cavalry units. The Republican commander should hold his position. If this happens, this will almost
certainly lead to a Republican victory. The margin of victory, is up to you. Good luck, Major.
**
After the battle:*
Quick action by the Canadian Battalion commander enabled the rest of the battalion to
withdraw in reasonably good order. Eye-witness accounts describe a landscape covered with
frozen cavalrymen and horses. A truly brutal incident in a war where captives were often
executed on the spot and other atrocities were becoming more frequent.
