Malaga

War in Spain 1936-39 is the first in a new wargame series, using a new Land-Sea-Air engine inspired by War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition. Gameplay and realism are improved by TRUE AI and a detailed Logistics systems. A hyper detailed OOB reaches down to battalion and company level. A beautiful, hand drawn, 5 nautical mile per hex map massively increases player immersion.

Malaga

I can see in some AAR that the republic can win here, but the Nationalist have some 70 AV compared to about 27 AV. So do the republic get reinforcements here the first turn or how is it possible?

The Republic has supplies and forts.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

The Republic can win because there is no supply source for the Nationalists. Not on Day 1, but eventually. Republic gets more troops around there, but the big reason is that there is no supply source for the Nationalist units

The Nationalists are not strong enough to take the hex; their only choice is to hit the road to get to a supply source (or stay and starve I guess)

Also, the Republic can use naval bombardment to speed things up.

That too, the Republican can bombard the place

In the long run, it is extremely difficult for the Republic to defend against a human opponent for any length of time. The troops you get there in July/August are untrained militia. Meanwhile, the Army of Africa will be coming up the coast. It's also easy to outflank because the Nationalists should/will hold Grenada.

If the Nationalists abandon the hex July 17, it's only temporary
