Agonia y Victoria - AAR

I have been playing a game with the republicans against Patrick Davey´s Nationalist and we come in about half-way.
This is what I wrote as a resumé
"Now we are 50 or so turns (about half-time) into the scenario and this what happened:
In the south the republicans went on the offensive and captured both Malaga and Granada. They even approached both Gibraltar and Cordoba. After this they ran out of momentum and were pushed back from Malaga and Cordoba. Granada is still in republican hands but it is under constant pressure. The defense now goes from Almeria to Granada to Almaden/Ciudad Real.
In the center the nationalist put all their effort into knocking Madrid from the republicans. The Toledo front was mostly static but the Guadalajara front erupted with a surprising fury. Even with reserves from the Teruelfront to bolster the defenses the capital fell. After this a hardfought retreat to the river passing east of Toledo (Tajo?). Here the republicans made a stand and not until just recently did they retreat further towards Albacete. The front is rather stable still and recent reinforcements have bolstered the defenders.
The Teruelfront has been mostly quiet even if Cuenca was lost around turn 40.
In the north the republicans went on the offensive and captured many of the cities in Aragon and Basque country. Saragossa and Huesca are now the ones still in republican hands and in force. Saragossa is however under siege and the defenders are crumblings. Hopefully reinforcements will arrive soon. Huesca is well defended.
Plans for the future is retreating to a shorter defensive line as soon as Ciudad Real, Albacete, Granada, Saragossa and Huesca are lost. This should still make me "win" a draw in spite of losing Madrid. What is working against me is that reinforcements are scarce after turn 60.
No pasaran...más... [:-]"
Now I will continue with some pictures of the southern, central and northern fronts.
Things are not going too well though.
