Re: State of the Game as I see it currently

Although there were instances of workers volunteering for defense work and trench-digging—primarily in Madrid—the spanish mindset is not that of the soviet citizen. If a captain were to enter a village asking for volunteers to fortify a hill or a road "in defense of the homeland," he would almost ...

Re: Roadmap

A new scenario in a short time.
Later on, more elements will be added to the game, because all additions made to subsequent games will be added to SCW. I can't say any more, but the game will be updated as the engine is polished and expanded. SCW is the first on a list, but it will not be abandoned ...

Re: Republic Production Notes

MAOC: Among all the militias that operated in the Republican zone during the first months of the Spanish Civil War, the MAOC were perhaps the most effective. But their number is difficult to specify and ranges from Juan Modesto, the organizer of the MAOC, saying between 1,000 and 1,500 during the ...

Re: A Las Barricadas! A Republican PBEM AAR Q-Ball (R) vs. Przemek (N)

In this situation, if you control the entire railway line passing through Calatayud, your troops have Zaragoza within striking distance and they are well-supplied. By cutting off the key hex, the city would be ripe for the taking in no time.
Although Przemek must have realized the danger.

Re: A Las Barricadas! A Republican PBEM AAR Q-Ball (R) vs. Przemek (N)

Have you tried an attack on Zaragoza with the anarchist colums from Barcelona?
That's what was done historically, and although it failed, they recovered a significant amount of ground.
It could slow the nationalist advance in the north somewhat.

Re: A Las Barricadas! A Republican PBEM AAR Q-Ball (R) vs. Przemek (N)


The VIldebeest thing was a happy accident, actually....it was a mistake to have them without torps in this test build. But further research indicated that although the Republican Spanish Navy had a "Torpedista Squadron", and probably aspired to aerial torpedo tactics, the planes themselves were ...

Yeah, the Chauchat production is excessive. I´ll fix it.

Re: Why so many Chauchats?

Well, the chauchat was abundant in nationalist hands.
In October 1936, the nationalists possessed 5,000 Chauchats. This was due to the steamship Sylvia, a foreign-flagged merchant vessel, was transporting a significant arms shipment from Poland for the republican side. It was intercepted and ...

Re: Unable to Use the port of Masawa

These are remote ports of the Italian Empire. Nat ships did not reach them; their maritime and air supply routes were concentrated in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Gulf of Cádiz. So It can't be easy for the nats to get there.

Anyone can go to East Africa without italian permission, aka ...

Re: Arriba Espana, Parte 2! A Nationalist PBEM AAR Q-Ball (N) v Przemek (R)

Maybe my mistake was not using the Italian/German ships a-historically, in other words aggressively

Historically, they were agressive. Of course, oficially not :twisted:

But the italian submarines even attacked republican ships in the Aegean Sea.

The Nats have better senior and junior leadership throughout the war, except for some historical republican leaders.
Their planes will be better in the game, especially the german bombers, and the italian fleet must be put to good use, because if the flow of soviet devices and supplies is not cut ...

Re: Arriba Espana, Parte 2! A Nationalist PBEM AAR Q-Ball (N) v Przemek (R)

Losing Mallorca is facilitating republican transports. Soviet aid is arriving in droves.
The control of the Mediterranean Sea is key in this game. You will lose if you don't stop the convoys.

Re: TERUEL AAR (Piteas vs Btd64) Republican side

After the capture of Teruel, we conclude this AAR.
This has been a brief presentation of this scenario in the game.

I hope to start an AAR of the Ebro Scenario soon.

See you later, soldiers of the Republic.

Re: TERUEL AAR (Piteas vs Btd64) Republican side

Finally, our glorious forces have broken through the pocket of resistance west of Teruel. We have advanced our lines north of the city and established a front. We expect to continue our advance after a rest.

This is what the map looks like after 9 days of intense combat.
