From BoardGameGeek

'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. There is a scenario that covers the Full War (1834-1838) and another two shorter ones: Zumalacarregui's War (1834-1836) and Espartero's War (1836-1838). 'Una Guerra Imposible' recrea la Primera Guerra Carlista en el Norte de España (1834-1838). Es un juego de guerra de bloques que también incluye fichas y cartas. Hay un mapa principal (o mapa del Norte), donde aparecen Navarra, las Provincias Vascongadas y parte de Cantabria, Burgos y La Rioja, y otro mapa secundario que refleja las regiones del resto del país, donde estallan las sublevaciones carlistas y pueden operar las expediciones enviadas desde el Norte. Hay un escenario que cubre la Guerra Completa (1834-1838) y otros dos más breves: La Guerra de Zumalacárregui (1834-1836) y La Guerra de Espartero (1836-1838).
