We are now in the First Winter turn. In C&R, a Winter turn implies that your offensive is limited as only three cards can be played for operations (1 ops does not count against this limit) and you get –1DRM in mountain spaces. Also after National playing Famine, republican loses –1MR each winter. In the case of Severe winter (Republican event), –2MR applies and operations are limited to two cards.
During this turn, Republican tried several times to move National units from Talavera. First, he launched an attack with the strength of the two T-26 units, but national could stand thanks to the play of two Combat Cards (-2 DRM).
Unfortunately for the nationalist side, he had no success into obtaining a position and finally at the end of the turn, republican retook Talavera:
On the other hand, National attacks were concentrated into taking Puertollano and Jaen. Although both assaults were successful, Republican sacrificed a further step to keep the control on the key mountains and reinforce his position by strategic redeployment:
The only important event played during this turn was Severe Winter that will apply next Winter.
With this turn it ends the War of the Columns. Now, cards from the Mobilization Phase will be added to the deck but, before, Corps units must be alternatively placed on the map. To speed up things we meet at the club and place our units using a laptop. This is the final result:
Situation is MR=22, VP=9
