Teruel

**Teruel** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Brrr, it's freezing out there, mein General.  What a miserable time to be recalled to duty!

We can warm up later, lieutenant.  Right now we must focus on the situation at Teruel.

Of course. What exactly are we up against, Ana?

Our Nationalist forces have been holding on to the salient at Teruel since late last year.  What was thought to be a minor Republican probing attack has proven to be a major operation to push us out of our foothold in their territory.

We need your help to break through the enemy siege of Teruel, and break their offensive definitively.

**Primary Objective: Control Teruel at the end of the Mission.**

**Bonus Objective: Escort Medical Transport to Evacuation Zone.**

We've been fighting the Republicans here for more than a month, and we believe they are on their last legs.

Hmm, I see...  The awful weather combined with our assault could be just the thing to break their will to continue the fight.  Mein General, given the high chance for snow fall, I recommend moving most of our aircraft into reserve for this operation.

I also suggest we focus our attacks on one part of the enemy line, rather than attempt to engage their entire defensive perimeter.

Once you crack their defenses, give us a signal and we'll begin a charge.

A charge, Capitana?

Si, lieutenant.  We've amassed a huge number of cavalry forces, and are ready to trample the Republicans underhoof!

An old fashioned cavalry charge.  Capitana, I am impressed.  Mein General, I strongly recommend we break through the center of the Republican line here.

Once we've cleared out them out, the Nationalist cavalry should be invaluable to sweep any Republican units out from the hills between us and Teruel.

As a final request, we have many wounded soldiers trapped in Teruel.  If we reach the city fast enough, moving these wounded to safety would be possible.

To victory, for Germany!

And for Spain!

### Debriefing

Update just came in over the wireless, Mein General.

Our assault, combined with the Nationalist cavalry charge, has completely broken the Republican formations.  Tereul remains firmly in Nationalist hands, and Franco believes we have total operational initiative.

The Generalissimo is already making plans for the next offensive.

We've been issued a short reprieve, but are expected to be ready to return to action at a moment's notice.

It should be interesting to see what Franco decides to strike next.  Perhaps we will finally return to Madrid?  No use in guessing I suppose, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

**Historically, the Battle of Teruel would be one of the last mass cavalry charges in the history of warfare.**
