Turn 20. I want to make a brief assessment and, with it, bring this AAR to a close, as its aim was to show the opening stages of the campaign. I love the game; there is a variety of options and situations that are truly worth highlighting.
So then, in this wrap-up ...

In the north, we have the western side at the top and the eastern side below — that is, from Galicia to the French border. On the western side, the troops available are limited and, although we have been achieving the objectives set out in the initial plan, it is ...

The light cruiser Almirante Cervera arrives. The plan is for her to depart from the Nationalist port of El Ferrol (Galicia) so she can join the force of warships that is trying to survive and operate in the Strait of Gibraltar. The ship is fully armed and undamaged ...

In the Strait area we continue with the planned strategy, thanks to the arrival of troops from Africa. Practically all the area between the Strait, Huelva and Seville is in Nationalist hands — except for a few pockets and isolated Republican troops. urther north, in ...

In the center, Ávila finally falls, a position to the northwest of Madrid. By holding Segovia (to the north) and with this route now open, we are now able to reach the outskirts of the Republican capital. Meanwhile, the Nationalist forces in Madrid are taking an ...

Italian aid, beyond the first air squadrons that are starting to arrive, I begin to manage by sending resources from Naples to the Balearic Islands. A fleet is on its way carrying a load of supplies that will go to the capital of the main island, Mallorca. It is a ...

In these early days we have managed to transport a considerable number of troops by sea from North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula via the Ceuta–Algeciras route. This allows us to have forces available to continue reinforcing the uprising. They will shortly set out ...

The game presents historical events according to the in-game date. Here are a few examples from the first days of the campaign. Since they’re purely informational, they don’t affect the course of the game.

Along Spain’s northern seaboard, much of the war will be decided. It is a region rich in resources and population, and hostile to the Nationalist side. Plans are being drawn up for most of the available units to begin their marches or assaults at those positions ...

If we head toward the eastern half of the country, the main hub we find is the city of Zaragoza. From here and other nearby points, troop movements begin to try to reinforce certain positions or to seek the first contacts with the enemy. Many units on both sides are ...

Across the Strait, on this western side of Andalusia, we maneuver with the few units that are activated on Turn 0 at the start of the campaign. With what we have, the plan is to push eastward, where enemy units have been detected in Medina Sidonia. North of ...

We’re starting the campaign in the Canary Islands. We quickly form a convoy to load troops and send them north—probably to the Moroccan coast—and then decide, depending on naval control conditions, whether they disembark in North Africa or on national territory ...

With this, I’m giving a quick summary of what I consider most relevant in terms of areas, unit types, and an initial plan for starting to issue orders on such an immense map with so many possibilities. Here I show a Junta de Andalucía map with each side’s positions ...

And now—Madrid!! In the center of Spain lies the great city coveted by all. There is a strong Republican presence, and although Nationalist troops are on the scene, I don’t think they have the capacity to take the main urban core—though they can capture points on ...

On the eastern side of the conflict, Republican forces have a stronger presence. From Zaragoza, we will try to seize several key points—above all road and rail communications—to see whether, with a sudden strike, we could attempt an assault on Lérida in a second ...

I’ll continue discussing areas with Nationalist troops where the conflict could escalate in intensity.

To the northwest lie Galicia and Asturias. There aren’t many ...

If we go sector by sector, the plan is to move troops to the higher-capacity ports of Tangier and Ceuta and to the airfield near Tétouan, with the goal of loading them onto aircraft and ships and determining whether a crossing of the Strait is feasible with at least ...

At the start of the conflict in the game, 453 Nationalist bases are counted versus 681 Republican ones, with a victory point value of +148,130 in favor of the latter. No air losses are recorded, but several ships are listed as captured during the military uprising ...

At the start of the war, the country split into two sides or factions. The army, air force, and fleet were also divided. Depending on the location, some chose to join one side while others were seized by force.
Reviewing the information the game provides at the ...
