Catalonia

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

## Briefings

Mein General, we have a most unusual set of orders for us today.

The utter defeat of the Republican forces at the Battle of the Ebro has continued to have major rippling effects.

One of these is a flurry of activity along the French and Spanish border. Huge columns of wagons, trucks, and trains are on the move across Catalonia.

Some of these convoys are trying to evacuate from Spain, while others are bringing in new arms and weapons from France.

Our mission is to intercept and obliterate as many of these convoys as we can find.

**Primary Objective: Destroy 10 convoy units.**

**Bonus Objective: Destroy 30 convoy units.**

Because the Republic is in such a state of disarray, we should encounter almost no garrison forces anywhere across the entire region. I would expect each convoy to have some armed guards though, so expect some resistance.

The winter weather will make this mission much harder though. We won't get much use out of our aircraft, as the snow will even make use of recon aircraft extremely unreliable.

We're going to have to sweep the region with our ground units as best we can.

I have a few suggestions to make this operation less painful to complete.

First off, we should avoid crossing the French border at all costs.

I do not think the French will think kindly to German units invading their country from this direction... or any direction frankly.

But there are some obvious places we should set up roadblocks to intercept convoys moving between France and Spain.

Girona is far enough from the border that the French will not be bothering us, but it is right on the main rail line between Barcelona and France.

These passes through the Pyrenees Mountains are also obvious chokepoints for us to set up roadblocks.

Don't worry about trying to fight our way into Barcelona itself though. Our Nationalist friends have assured us that city will be dealt with soon enough.

We should also considering leaving a garrison right here at Vic. Our central location is likely to be crossed by at least a few convoy units.

The end of the Republic is near, mein General. Let's bring it a few months even closer. To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

**Historically, Catalonia would fall very quickly to the Nationalists as the Battle of the Ebro had completely depleted Republican military resources. At no point during the Spanish Civil War did any Condor Legion units attack into Southern France.**
