This assault/defend scenario is playable from either side.*
*
The Republicans hold an important mountain pass with barely more than a company of ragtag units led by a crack squad of Guardia Asaltos & two squads of Guardia Civil. They know the Fascisti are coming from both sides, and they know they will not get any help or reinforcements at this time. They need to push back the assault and hold tha Pass all by themselves.  Everybody -- men & women, soldiers & townspeople, farmers & miners -- has been put into action.  Every possible weapon is being used, and the engineers have fortified both ends of the Pass and the Old Fort as best as can be done.*
*
The Nationalists plan to assault the Pass from both ends.  They have put together a mixed reinforced company to force the East Gate.  They are led by an elite squad of the Spanish Foreign Legion with a platoon of Army of Africa soldiers, as well as some regular army infantry & cavalry, and also some Falangists and Carlist Requetes.  Rounding out the eastern forces are two armored trucks and some Italian & German air support.  On the other side of the Pass a depleted artillery regiment has cobbled together an attack force to storm the West Gate.*
