Apologies, but owing to my long day I will eschew the historical flavour this season and simply produce the adjudication. I accidentally skipped the step to produce the map with arrows, sorry about that...
Thanks in advance for correcting any errors, I do get tripped up by the forced Autumn season in Realpolitik that blocks the program from listing proper builds.
There are 2 retreats this season; upcoming deadlines at the end of this note:

Italian Press:
Communists: are they evil, stupid or both?
Everyone knows that Stalin is a mass murderer. But how many know the evil extremist agenda of President Azana, the leader of the far left regime of Spain?
Walk through any Spanish town in the heat of the afternoon. Bodies lie everywhere - on benches, on sedan chairs, on cosy couches on sweeping verandas. Are they asleep or have they been horribly massacred by the evil ruler lurking in his luxurious apartments in Barcelona? We did not check, but we are pretty sure that they have been horribly massacred. And they stupidity? They did not even destroy the evidence. Evil *and* stupid.
The luxurious apartments? We visited. And what we found was so shocking and so horrifying - and so stupid - that we hesitate to mention it. Having hesitated, here goes: they are torturing puppies. Badly. (By that, we mean that they are trying to torture puppies, demonstrating their evil, but doing it in an incompetent way, such that the puppies are having fun running around chasing toys, getting well fed, wagging their tails, getting lots of pats and so on.) These communists are evil and stupid, that is for sure. They do not know how to torture puppies. Mussolini does, showing his clear superiority.
And that is why Spain must be destroyed: they must be taught how to torture puppies properly.
This exclusive look into the dark world of communism and its many apologists brought to you from the dark world of fascism and its many apologists.
