July 18th:
War costs money and we have none. Burgos approaches Berlin, Rome and Tokyo for help. Only Japan sees any benefit at the moment and agrees to trade us money for supplies. The Tarragona army attacks and routs our militia in Saragossa sending them fleeing to Huesca to regroup.
July 19th:
We land in Valencia under cover of night and move into the Republican capital unopposed sending the govenment fleeing.
July 20th:
Transports make port in Seville. Our force attacks Malaga and fight it out for a day and half before the enemy cavaly breaks. Our army then splinters off with one division continuing on to Malaga, one division moving on Jaen and three divisions boarding transports.
July 21st:
Although intently watching the conflict just over their border, France denies assistance to the Republicans. The Soviets, however rally to the communist cause. May they all rot together!
Burgos has been courting assitance as well and the Italian answer comes swiftly.
Three divisions of infantry and one light armor division land in Burgos with another unit of bombers basing in La Coruna. We imediately begin bombing Bilbao. The italian army makes for Saragossa.

Fearing an escalation of events, the UK refuses the Republican plea for assistance.
July 23rd:
Seeing the Soviet response as a blatant attempt to spread bolshevism, Germany sends a Panzer division as well as the "condor legion" to assist us. We quickly rebase the bombers to Valencia and begin bombing Taragonna with the German tanks making for Saragossa with great haste.
Our division from Bilbao arrives is Huesca and immediately comes under attack. Two divisions from Seville make an unopposed landing at Murcia.
July 24th:
Our force in Huesca loses a valliant fight against superior forces, retreating toward Saragossa, but not before greatly disorganizing the attackers. Our retreating forces from Saragossa arrive just in time, halt the Republican advance and turn them back.
July 25th:
We make a landing at Huelva and meet no resistance until we push inland. Our force comes under attack by a superior enemy and falls back to Seville. We rebase our Italian air group to Valencia in order to escalate bombing on Tarragona.
July 26th:
Huesca once again comes under attack, but the offensive stalls before making any progress. The Republican army is beginning to fall apart from the lack of supply and sustained bombing.
