A las Barricadas!

A tactical wargame recreating platoon- and company-level combat during the Spanish Civil War and similar 20th-century engagements. Players command infantry, armored vehicles, artillery and aircraft, maneuvering units on a map and resolving combat with rules that model coordination, morale and combined-arms effects. Scenarios reflect historical force compositions—regular troops, militias, foreign volunteers and expeditionary units—and emphasize the differing strengths and weaknesses of each side. The system focuses on operational decision-making: unit activation, movement, fire and support, with mechanics for air strikes, armor tactics and the variable organization of political militias.
