Excellent!   

Where's the Republican command car from?

It's an old N Gauge white metal kit I picked up cheap

Here's some pics of the game, not great quality I'm afraid!
The game was based loosely on the Republican attacks on villages around Brunete in July 1937.



The village held by Falangist Militia.


A company of Assault Guards on the Republican right flank...


... and a company of International Brigaders on the left.


The Asaltos move up to the hedgerow under mortar fire. The Republican's plan was to distract the Nationalists with a feint attack to the front...


...while the Internationals attacked the flank.


A column of Carlists move on to reinforce the village.


The Pz I platoon moves to attack the T26s, soon realising their mistake.


As they withdraw, a misplaced airstrike hits one of the Panzers.


The Carlists deploy from their trucks, ready to charge the advancing tanks.


However, with the International Brigade company suppressed and totally shot up the Republican players decide to call it a day.

Hi Stuart

Great pictures Thanks for putting them up. I noticed you had a nice looking bus lurking amongst the Pendraken trucks with the Falangists, Just the sort of bus I was looking for, any idea on who makes this?

Cheers

Looks like it was a very pleasant game that day.    I haven't had a chance to get in a game of BKC in way too long.    Thanks for sharing the pics.

Lovely figures.  Could we get some close-ups?

My only very minor issue would be the basing....shouldn't it be more beige/'sand coloured' for the Spanish countryside?

Nice batrep too.  Love the buildings and it looked like a lot of fun.
