I commend you for writing this rpg. This is a tragic event in Spain's history, very sadly, one of many during the Spanish Civil War. La Desbanda is deeply personal to me as my great Aunt Salvadora survived this journey as a child. Her mother accompanying her on the road to Almeria with her baby sister, Victoria. Many decades after the event Dora could still vividly recall and describe to me the horror of those desperate days and the terror of being attacked by planes. Thank you for creating a game that challenges us to explore such a heart-rending topic, to strive to find hope in the darkest of days and to resolve to resist, at every turn, the violence of fascism.
