He was en route from Portugal when his plane crashed.
General Franco, it is an honor sir! But I don't understand, where is. I'm afraid he won't be coming to join us, my German friends. A Spanish officer enters the tent, again interrupting Oberleutnant Wagner. I certainly did not expect we would be meeting the leader of the Nationalist movement! But wait, according to this, he should already be at this meeting. I'm not sure where that leaves us now, I hope there are answers in this second communique.Īpparently General Sanjurjo himself is coming to meet us. Ambushed by a Communist faction supporting the Spanish Republic. Wagner holsters his Luger and reads the documents. I bring news of your missing Colonel, if you'll just read these communiques. You aren't Colonel Bolanos! Who are you, and what is the meaning of this!Ĭalm yourself, German. Wagner is interrupted by a woman entering the field tent. Abwehr dossiers describe Colonel Bolanos as. Mein General, our Nationalist contact in Spain should joining us any moment now. I will see you on the Spanish mainland shortly. We need to hold the city long enough to transport Franco's Army of Africa to Spain, to ensure we have ample friendly infantry forces in our campaign to come! Army of Africa units will most likely need to be airlifted, as they are a bit behind our embarkation points.Īfter we've cleared any resistance around Seville, we should hold the city against any potential counterattack. There should be enough time to transport two waves of units by naval transport, if you move quickly. I wouldn't try to destroy the Jaime I and her escorts either, our light biplane bombers are woefully unprepared to deal with a battleship! We'll just have to deal with her later. You will only have a limited opportunity to move your forces across the Strait of Gibaltar before the Republican naval blockade arrives. The Republican battleship Jaime I is on constant patrol, and submarine reports show she is on her way to interdict our operations as we speak. Unfortunately, this will be easier said than done.
Primary Objective: Capture and Hold Cadiz and Seville Airfield.īonus Objective: Capture and Hold Auxiliary Airfield.īonus Objective: Garrison Five Seville Hexes with Army of Africa Units.įirst off, we'll need to transport our own forces to Spain. Speaking of which, our first assignment is to safely escort them across the Strait of Gibaltar. You will be expected to work closely with our Spanish compatriots in the campaign ahead. Therefore, your primary battlegroup, Kampfgruppe 88, is to provide supporting roles to assist the main body of Nationalist forces in their coup. Our deployment to Spain is to begin immediately, but there are some critical details I feel you must be made aware of.īecause we don't want to undermine the legitimancy of the Nationalists, we will not be deploying any German infantry forces to the Spanish conflict. Shall we begin?Īs you are undoubtably aware, our government has pledged to aid the Spanish Nationalists in their uprising. I have your orders direct from Commander Sperrle. I swear now to faithfully serve you, and the Fatherland, to any end! Oberleutnant Stefan Wagner, reporting for duty! May I say, it's an honor to meet you, General %playername%.
