About the Game

Heralds of Defeat is a Free PnP Tactical level board-wargame that recreates the Civil War inside a Civil War that took place in Madrid during the first week of the last month of the Spanish Civil War.

As Madrid's Republican garrison split in two factions: Socialists and Anarchists seeking a peace agreement with Franco and the Comunists trying to extend the war, this two player game pits them into a bitter battle downtwon Madrid and its close environments.

Propaganda and negotiation are as important as combat itself, as both players need to knit a viable command structure in the middle of chaos; combatants shift back and forth between neutrality and beligerancy and Franco's fifth columnists pop up to wreck further chaos.
