The Battle of La Montana Del Monasterio.

The first moves see the Nationalists seize the crossroads and their tank holds the center as the infantry prepare to assault the hill . The Republican tanks and infantry move down the road to try and capture the crossroads as their infantry take possession on the hill .

The Republican tanks drive off the the Nationalist Heavy Infantry from the crossroads , I'm using the chance cards from the book and the Republicans got very lucky as the tanks was able to fire twice and the Nationalist Heavies received 15 casualties so they are removed from the table .

I've made some mini dice holders to keep score on the casualties unit suffer , here the poor Heavies have enough to take them off the table.

In the center the Republicans lost a unit to a combination of tank and infantry fire and a chance card that made them panic and get a D6 extra casualties .

The Nationalist assault on the hill was driven off with heavy casualties , but the Republicans lost another Infantry unit in the center . The Nationalists still held the disputed crossroads but were suffering a lot of casualties from the enemy tanks .

The Nationalists lost their tank unit and had to retire to the crossroads after the infantry there were eliminated . The Republicans were able to detach their Heavy Infantry from the hill and move up across the corn fields to pour fire into the retiring Nationalists . The Republican tanks moved up to take the crossroads and win the scenario. The Republicans lost 3 units and the Nationalists 5 , so a convincing win for General Benavente as he captured both objectives . The Nationalists have had to pull back to lick their wounds and I'm going to dice for the next scenario and for the forces which will take part in it . The game was very quick to play and the use of the chance cards added a new dimension to the game .
