Nov I 36

Insurgent Player Turn.

The weather is now mud in Zone D, and there are rough seas in the Atlantic. The 2 LE III is again used to form a Division, the 2 Cas. The 2 Sor XX and supporting units move onto the rail line west of Talavera de la Reina, once again cutting the supply line to Salamanca. The Lt Inf II’s remain cut off further east, south of the rail line.

Loyalist Player Turn.

Soria and Miranda de Ebro, both abandoned by the Insurgents, are occupied. Both of the Lt Inf II’s south of the rail line running west from Madrid are destroyed in separate battles (9:1 -1 = DE; 9:1 0 = DE) with a Tank II and a Mech III being used to negate terrain modifiers in the second attack. No attack on the 2 Sor XX is possible at reasonable odds.

Nov II 36

Insurgent Player Turn.

Mud continues in Zone D, but the calm returns to the Atlantic, while weather in Zone E stays clear. The 1 Av XX is formed from the 1 LE III. No attacks this turn but units begin to position themselves for attacks on Salamanca and the Loyalists guarding the rail line where it crosses the Tajo River at 2218.

Loyalist Player Turn.

A low odds attack is launched on the 2 Sor XX. A large, mostly bloodless air battle is fought as both sides try to get air support, but in the end the attack just fizzles out (2:1 0 = AS).
