In this four-way battle, players took control of one of 4 factions - Communists International Brigades, Anarchist Militia, Regular Nationalist Army and Carlist Requetes. Each entered from one of the four corners and the faction that was deemed in control of the junction at the centre of the table, would claim the victory.
The Nationalists were dogged from the beginning when their captured T26 tank broke down and they were unable to repair it. The Carlists killed quiet a lot of the Anarchists, but didn't really make a serious play for the central objective. The Anarchists made a ponderous approach to the objective, but by the time they got there their untrustworthy allies, the Communists, were already well ensconced in the park alongside the objective. The Communists made a sensible advance upon the centre, aided by the fact that their T26s didn't break down once.
In the end, the Communists won handsomely, especially in light of the fact that the other factions were all close to having morale problems, due to casualties, and the reluctance of the Anarchists to break their shaky alliance.
As usual Fascist propaganda has attempted to sow discord after their collective enemies triumphed. Given that they were the weakest force the anarchists more than pulled their weight.
