Description

Requiem is a wargame for two players who will control the National and Republican sides in the Spanish Civil War. During the game, both sides take turns to play their cards and carry out movements and attacks with their troops against the most relevant towns in Spain at the time of this violent conflict.

A game of Requiem is divided into two stages, column warfare and position warfare, as can be seen in the round track on the board. Each stage is divided into 5 rounds, which in turn are divided into:

  • Strategy Phase
  • Battle Phase
  • Logistics Phase

In each phase, both sides take turns to play cards from their hand and move units on the map, attack towns controlled by the enemy side or request reinforcements, in order to subdue the opponent militarily.
