From Decision Games:

The Magazine:

Belchite & Teruel - Tipping Point of the Spanish Civil War: Spain's civil war had reached a point of equilibrium by early 1937. A series of battles in the Ebro Valley late in the year ultimately would decide the war.

Other Articles:

• War Winner - Allied Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union in World War II: The Soviet need for Western materiel arose in the opening months of the 1941 German invasion. While the aid would not be the sole reason the Soviets eventually prevailed, Lend-Lease helped speed that victory.
• Operazione C3 - Italian Plans to Invade Malta: Malta was a thorn in the side of Axis forces fighting in North Africa. Long-standing Italian plans for an invasion nearly came to fruition in the summer of 1942.
• Operation Causeway - Formosa-Amoy Invasion Plans: The Allies laid plans for several alternatives in the Pacific during the summer of 1944. One was the seizure of land on both sides of the Formosa Strait.

The Game:

Spanish Civil War Battles is a two-player, operational-level wargame of the Belchite (August to September 1937) Battles of Teruel (December 1937), and Alfambra (December 1937 to February 1938). The game uses Eric Harvey’s popular Fire & Movement system rules with exclusive rules allowing the game to simulate these three important struggles of the Spanish Civil War. The map consists of two separate half-sheet maps depicting the area of the battles at 1km per hex and many of the charts and tables required to play the game. Units are at brigade level with the standard F&M fire support markers representing off map artillery and other indirect support weapons. Each turn represents a variable number of days, depending on the intensity of the action.

Components: 22x34 inch map, 176 die-cut counters.
