Shattered Armada

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

            In the summer of 1936 Spain’s right-wing “Nationalists” rebelled against the democratically elected left-wing “Republicans.” Italy and Germany quickly backed the Fascist Nationalists, while the Soviet Union rallied behind the Communist-Socialist-Anarchist Republicans. England, with a reluctant France, desperately sought to keep the war from expanding.

            Warships of all the major powers prowled the waters off Spain; at first to help evacuate the hundreds of refugees, then to pursue their own national interests. All the major powers poured weapons, and in some cases, volunteers into the conflict. “Pirate” submarines sank Russian ships bringing arms to the Republicans, while each country’s most advanced warplanes dueled overhead. One false step could have plunged the world into total war years earlier than when that doom finally did occur.

            From the outset, the Spanish Civil War was a naval war. Political passions fanned the flames, but it was the thousands of tons of supplies that arrived by sea that fed the fire to keep it burning. Over 90% of the war materiel used in the Spanish Civil War came from outside Spain. Germany, England, Italy, Soviet Union, and France sent all manner of tanks, planes, bullets, bombs, guns, grain and even troops, all delivered by cargo ships. Of the score or more of battles fought at sea, most were related to protecting or attacking these critical sources of supply.

            Shattered Armada introduces players to the unfamiliar tale of the Spanish Civil War at sea with 22 scenarios describing battles that actually did occur; “could have” battles with combatants who were close enough to fight, but never got to engage; “what if” battles drawn from war plans and commander's intentions; and one convention knock-down donnybrook that showcases the ultimate “uh oh” if chaos had been unleashed.

            From convoys and shore batteries and minefields to battleships and gunboats, players will re-live the role of the Spanish Navy as it tears itself apart in a struggle between shipmates and contends with warships of the Great Powers as a 1930s war at sea reveals the fate of a Shattered Armada.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
