Pare Los Fascists! (Stop the Fascists) is a simulation on the critical battle also known as the Battle for the La Coruna Road that took place from Jan. 3 to 16th, 1937. In this particular phase of this Nationalist offensive (planned by the German advisors and their Blitzkrieg technique) it was the first time the German Panzers met the Russian T26B tanks. Although their numbers were small, both altered their doctrines because of them.

The goal for the Nationalists was to cutoff Madrid by seizing all roads to the west and the city water supply (just off the north map edge). It was also hoped that other Nationalists troops would be able to cutoff Madrid from the north and east. This game simulates the last phase of the Fascists offensive.

The game system uses an action point method that requires players to plan out their attacks and advances. The first half of the game has the Republicans struggling to stem the Fascists attacks, all with different objectives. The game's final 3-4 turns are always a nail biter as Russian tanks and International brigades pour in to counterattack in and around Los Rozas!
