Second turn continued with National offensive. Main lines of attack were concentrated in Extremadura and Andalucia. National tried also some attacks to disturb defensive republicans positions at the mountains (Somosierra, Leitariegos,..) but all of then failed on a 1/1 result. Republicans was still playing mainly for replacements and Strategic redeployements combined with low operations cards to relocate reduced units.
Both players initiated the turn by playing the cards providing foreign aid. Now National can get Axis units and Republican will get Soviet units (the much expected T-26 brigades).
First national goal has been accomplished as the succesful assault on Badajoz allows the connection of the two fronts:
The second noticeable attack was directed against Malaga. Again Republican defence did not stand and another VP city was lost.
Before the end of the turn, National launched a final strong attack against Jaen but failed,
then, Republican played event to automatically place three positions (He chose Jae, Durango and Talavera)and secure the city.
This is the situation at Asturias:
Madrid where Republican reinforced the mountains:
Andalucia,
and Extremadura (Republicans got a position at Pto Peña),
