July 27 scenario. The XIII International Brigade tries to break the Fascist line and occupy Gandesa. Without support, not an easy task. GTS Ebro 1938, the Spanish Civil War, with some adaptations: prefixed orders, no radios.

There’s no way to dislodge those Fascists in front of Gandesa. The XI International brigade is trying hard but assaulting without artillery prepararien is though. Home made GTS in the Spanish Civil War.

I’ve retaken the design of a “GTS module” of the Battle of the Ebro (Spanish Civil War). So far, I’m using unmodified maps from the period. Thinking about how to adapt the rules to the realities of this conflict. Here, the International Brigades assaulting Gandesa.

Russian fixed orders lead to 2 consecutive ambushes and the quasi obliteration of a task group. UAVs are rather useful for directing artillery. Too bad the XV international brigade didn’t have any of those in Gandesa, 1938… Battlegroup clash by @sapperstudio.bsky.social and my early prototype.

Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
Learning the new sensation: Battlegroup Clash. I love the map and the agility of the game. It takes some time to get used to the absence of hexes to pinpoint unit location. The order matrix is simpler than the one in the Tactical Combat Series. Ready to begin scenario 2.@sapperstudio.bsky.social

Aquell mini joc inicial que vaig fer durant les vacances de Setmana Santa del 2024 per passar l’estona, es va convertint en un joc amb tots els ets i uts. Ara ja té pàgina a la bgg, amb un hater resident, com ha de ser. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46...

El magnífic joc d'en @joanfortuny.bsky.social cada vegada més a prop de la versió final. Si el complot de Prats de Molló no hagués estat descobert per la gendarmeria, fins on haguessis arribat? Haguessis capturat Olot? Haguessis aconseguit el suport de la CNT? [Foto de n' @esparver73.bsky.social ]

A nice prototype of the Macià 1926 wargame has been developed ! A game about a foiled plot to liberate Catalonia from Primo de Rivera’s Spanish dictatorship in 1926. An action inspired by the IRA struggle in Ireland and the Russian revolution with fair amounts of Mediterranean improvisation.

Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
“Macià 1926” will be a solitaire, what-if, small footprint wargame on the planned -but ultimately aborted by French authorities- uprising of Catalan patriots led by Colonel Macià against the Primo de Ribera dictatorship in Spain. Prototype advancing quickly!

Talking about the “clean Wehrmacht myth”, this text from a recently released game is a fairly good example. I’m sure the Soviet authorities weren’t specially kind to the population, but they seem to have forgotten to mention some minor details about the Nazis in Russia. @fredserval.bsky.social

After relearning (and enjoying a lot Lobositz, BAR system) moving to WWII with Barbarossa: Army Group Center from @gmtgames.bsky.social. Looks nice on the table. Let’s see if the Soviets manage to stop the Nazis. Now I just have to read the rules…

The Austrians tried a cavalry overun west of the magnificent Sullowitzer tiergarten, but failed. The plan involved a second cavalry formation but they now face disaster too. Elsewhere, things don’t look good for the Austrians either. Lobositz from BAR system, Clash of Arms.

I very recently tried to play the first volume of the Indian Wars of the American West, Adobe Walls by Legion Wargames. But, actually to my surprise, I couldn’t. I was sickened by the explicitness of one of the US victory points source: loot and burn the Comanche and Kiowa winter camps.

The Germans defend in depth in bocage and are really tough to crack unless you have plentiful supply, which the Allies don’t have. The only weak point is defended by the Panzer Lehr, but the 275D is rushing to set up a line in Canisy behind them. Battle for Normandy by @gmtgames.bsky.social

Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 24/05/2025
Halfway through the time available, French pressure is about to break the Austrian defenses at several spots. However, the Austrians still have some muscle to throw into the fray. Victory points wise, this is still a clear Austrian victory in the long scenario of All are Brothers, Legion Wargames.

Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 22/05/2025
Turn 6 of 14 of my first try at All are brothers. French and Sardinian are pushing but the Austrians are not collapsing and reinforcements are coming. Really enjoying this game!

Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 18/05/2025
One turn down and the system seems rather accessible. Chit pull helps a lot with solitaire play. All are brothers from Legion Wargames. Seeing this, I’ve made my P500 preorder of At any cost Metz 1870 of @gmtgames.bsky.social

Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 17/05/2025
All are brothers from Legion Wargames and Bryan Armor on the table. I decided i might as well try to learn it with the full battle scenario. Beautiful map and counters.

GTS Battle of the Ebro: If my current understanding of the sources is correct, there was no way the Republicans could have taken Gandesa on July 26. No heavy weapons and just 6 battalions against some 10 battalions with artillery and air superiority.

And here the 35 division in all it’s never achieved glory.

Using old contemporary maps with an hexagonal grid superimposed, ready to retake the design of a GTS module covering the “Saga of the 35 international division“ during the 1st 10 days of the Battle of the Ebro. From Ascó to Gandesa and beyond. The scale is 1 hex 500m.

Trying to retrace objectives, movements etc of the 35 republican division at the Ebro using the division’s order sheets and the maps they had available in 1938. Further documentation for my homemade module of the 35 international division at the Ebro battle for MMP’s Grand Tactical Series system.

Finishing the 2nd mission of the Normandy campaign. All is going surprisingly well and Germans keep retreating while sporadically shooting at the careful Americans. #FieldsofFire from @gmtgames.bsky.social. I may still be doing some things wrong, but in this iteration it is a very accessible game.

Step by step, learning the system. This is an “upgraded” standalone mission with radios and ammo. It quickly becomes mind blowing, I may have gone too far… #fieldsoffire from @gmtgames.bsky.social

The more I learn about @gmtgames.bsky.social ‘s Fields of Fire system, the more I’m picturing a 1938 Battle of the Ebro implementation of the system. No radios, plenty of runners, limited initiative, political commissars, maybe down to platoons only. “Fields of Fire Lincoln Brigade”!!

South front is active with Republicans fighting off Nationalist counterattacks on Paüls but failing to take Xerta, a secondary objective. The active Nationalist counterattack is finding stiff resistance from the international 11th and 13th brigades, supported by a company of T26b tanks.

New testing session of my Ebro battle 1938 solitaire game. The new Events phase seems to work well as do the new detailed operational orders. Maximum stacking and some other aspects are still in need of polishing.

Estirant el fil dels meus familiars directes gràcies als arxius digitalitzats de l’arquebisbat de Tarragona, ahir vaig saber que un avantpassat meu, Barthomeu Volart, boter de professió, tenia llogada una botiga al carrer del Joc de Pilota avui visible al Born a Barcelona. Parlem del 1670s…

Avui he comprat a AliExpress per primer cop… una clipejadora de 2mm que sembla igual que la que se’m va trencar l’altre dia. Gens, gens barata. Veurem si com a mínim no és una estafa però la veritat és que tornar a “clip counters” amb un talla ungles, no m’hi veig amb cor…

La partida que porto dies jugant del GTS Greatest Day, ha acabat en flagrant derrota aliada. Els canadencs han estat incapaços de trencar la línia de defensa de la 12SS Pz Div a Juno Beach i algunes unitats han practicament desaparegut.
050
Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 10/01/2025
El progrés dels canadencs és lent i molt costós. La 12 SS Pz Div és molt dura i els Canadencs sempre van curts de punts de comandament. Tierceville es resisteix però Banville sembla que serà alliberada aviat. Que lluny que queden els objectius però… GTS de MultiManPub.

Joan Fortuny @joanfortuny.bsky.social · 07/01/2025
Matí del 7 de juny de 1944, els canadencs han esembarcat i comencen la progressió cap a l’interior. La 716 divisió alemanya serà facilment eliminada a la primera línia de defensa, pero la 12 SS Pz D a la segona línia serà més dificil. GTS The Greatest Day GJW.

Final de partida, escenari 3 de l’Operation Mercury, GTS de MMP. Els alemanys s’han quedat curts d’un hexagon per guanyar. Han aconseguit ocupar 1 part de la pista d’aterratge però no ha estat prou. El push inicial cap al port es va veure frenat pels soldats de la CW atrinxerats a Heraklion.
