WiS: New v1.65.56 Public Beta Available!

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.

Woot woot - A las barricadas!

Does the beta comes with the new GC scenario and the additional Nationalist songs, or these will come later with the official release?

The update includes SCN011.
This SCN is an elaboration of the original SCN001, on which I spent about two years making modifications and conducting testing.

Good you mentioned it. Why isn't this info in the ReadMe file? I haven't noticed there is a new GC scenario.

Scenario 11 Introduction has several spelling errors.
Also the date format is inconsistent with the other scenarios i.e. DDMMYYYY.

Personally I prefer the European date method of DD/MM/YYYY, rather than MMDDYYYY.

Alright, thanks for pointing that out. We’ll fix it.
Date format...
Well, if an episode from the time of the Russo-Japanese War were to appear... just imagine the date: April 4, 1904... :D
