Overview

'An Impossible War' recreates the First Carlist War in the North of Spain (1834-1838). It is a wargame with blocks that also includes counters and cards.

There is a main map (or Northern map), that shows Navarre, the Basque Provinces and part of Cantabria, Burgos and La Rioja, and a secondary map that reflects the regions of the rest of the country, where Carlist uprising break out and the expeditions sent from the North may operate.
