Finally, National player initiated the offensive against Madrid. He first attacked Talavera and, from that position, Illescas. However, Republican who was bringing the T-26 brigades units to this area, was aware of the national plans and surprised him (Card # 107 Orders Captured). African units were left unguarded and vulnerable to the counterattack by the tanks. Fortunately for the National side, he had in hand Card #7 (Aviation disband Militia), cancelling the Republican attack.
Then International Brigades arrived to Madrid, reinforcing Republican around the capital:
National also tried to advance at Asturias (attacking Pajares) and Andalucia (attacking Jaen) but both attacks finished 1/1 with no terrain gains. Moreover, one of the reduced African units was attacked by a combined force of Police and Militia and permanently destroyed.
National did not play for Replacements but put into play Famine meaning –1MR each winter turn.
