I have a decent collection of 28mm Spanish Civil War figures (and terrain) and have been wanting to get them to the table more. Unfortunately, I haven't found a set of rules that worked for the numbers of figures I have and also gave me the flavour of the Spanish Civil War I was looking for. So I have decided to write my own.
¡Viva la muerte! are based around six 28mm representing a unit and use both event cards and the Fudge (or Fate as you prefer) dice (size sided dice with 2+, 2- and 2 blank sides). Each faction has differing victory conditions in order to create a semi-cooperative game.
So after having worked away at them for a few months I decided to give them a proper playlets at the club.
The scenario saw a small town held by three factions of Republicans (with the Communists being the only well supplied) being assaulted by elements from a Nationalist column - again three factions (with the Army of Africa bing the only well supplied).
Here are a few photos from the game:
The general consensus was that the rules worked (phew!) but needed some tweaking in a few areas - combat factors, armour (the least mature element anyway) and some of the initial supply conditions. So I have a few amendments to make and then have another game later in the year.
