Campaign situation and combat report AI companion
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2026 2:16 pm
As a WITP/AE player for decade, the best way to handle the log file and analysis situation every turn is critical for me, to make decisions for future turns and known what happened in last turns.
Fortunately, assisted by AI now, could help players to get the information they need quickly and help players to know the situation or combat result.
Here is a sample:
I have upload the combat report to the AI, and AI helped me to calculate the casualties for both side and told me the combat conclusions and suggestions.
I thinks it's very useful for players.

Core Conclusion
The situation on this day was dramatically polarized. The Republicans launched a costly but decisive siege in the north, while the Nationalists achieved a series of major breakthroughs in the south and west. Both sides scored strategic victories, but the Republican victory appears to have deeper implications.
I. Air Raid Casualty Statistics
Air raids were mainly carried out by the Republicans, causing significant civilian casualties.
Republican Air Raids: Caused a total of 159 civilian casualties, concentrated in Pollensa. Caused 0 Nationalist troop casualties. No losses to themselves.
Nationalist Air Raids: Conducted two reconnaissance/harassment raids, with no reported casualties.
Conclusion: The military impact of air raids was minimal, primarily manifesting as terror bombing against rear areas.
II. Ground Combat Casualty Statistics
The scale and intensity of ground combat far exceeded previous days, with both sides committing substantial forces.
1. Nationalist Offensives (11 battles)
The Nationalists pushed simultaneously on the Western (Basque) and Southern (Andalusia) fronts, achieving brilliant results.
Nationalist Casualties: Total 203
Republican Casualties: Total 2,174 (including multiple units surrendering or being destroyed)
Key Victories (Strategic Breakthroughs):
Elizondo: Nationalists easily captured it with overwhelming force (adjusted AV 333), the garrison Elizondo Guarnicion surrendered. A swift assault victory.
108,59 (Forest Area): Successful assault, inflicted 370 Republican casualties and captured the position.
Rozas: Steady advance, reduced fort level.
Guillena: A major Nationalist victory in the south. Captured the city with absolute superiority (adjusted AV 160), the garrison Guillena Guarnicion surrendered, Republicans lost 363.
Sabinanigo, Irun, Villamanin: Sustained attrition and advances, severely drained Republican manpower.
2. Republican Offensives (23 battles)
Republican offensives were almost entirely concentrated in the north, most notably the epic assault on San Sebastián.
Republican Casualties: Total 2,177 (the vast majority from the Battle of San Sebastián)
Nationalist Casualties: Total 1,458 (also mostly from San Sebastián, with massive losses of technical equipment and entire units)
Decisive Battle – The Battle of San Sebastián:
Course: Republicans launched an all-out, costly assault (adjusted AV 25, but Engineer value a massive 93). The fighting was exceptionally brutal.
Result: Republicans captured San Sebastián but paid a staggering price: 1,582 casualties (including 21 squads destroyed).
Outcome: However, the gains were equally immense. The Nationalist garrison was virtually annihilated: 379 casualties (38 squads destroyed), loss of 104 vehicles, 26 artillery pieces, and 4 units destroyed, including the surrender of three crucial artillery groups (1o/No.3, 2o/3o, 3o Pesado). This meant the core artillery strength and much of the technical equipment of the Nationalists in the north were wiped out.
Other Engagements:
Elgoibar: A brilliant Republican victory, captured the town, Nationalists lost 68.
Widespread Recovery and Consolidation: Republicans occupied 6 undefended bases and consolidated many areas captured the previous day (e.g., Ribadesella, Arcos de la Frontera).
III. Total Casualties and Losses
Category Nationalists Republicans Civilians Remarks
Air Raid Casualties 0 0 159
Ground Combat (Attacker) 203 2,177 N/A Republican casualties mainly from San Sebastián
Ground Combat (Defender) 1,458 2,174 N/A Nationalist casualties & equipment losses mainly from San Sebastián
Personnel Total 1,661 4,351 159 Exchange ratio ~1:2.62 (Nationalists favorable)
Equipment Losses At least 104 vehicles, 26 artillery, multiple units destroyed Heavy personnel losses, some technical equipment N/A Nationalist technical equipment suffered devastating blow
Territorial Changes Captured Elizondo, Guillena, advanced at Rozas, Sabinanigo, etc. Captured San Sebastián, Elgoibar, occupied 6 bases, consolidated multiple territories Both sides made significant territorial gains
Unit Losses Elizondo & Guillena garrisons surrendered, 3 artillery groups in San Sebastián surrendered/destroyed No units destroyed, but suffered massive personnel losses Nationalists lost entire formations of heavy technical troops
IV. Key Points and Overall Situation Analysis
"The San Sebastián Meat Grinder": This was the most decisive single battle of the day, and perhaps of the war so far. The Republicans captured one of the most important ports and fortress cities in the north through a near-suicidal assault. Although they suffered over four times the personnel casualties, they completely destroyed the core artillery strength and vehicle reserves of the Nationalists in the northern theater. This was a tactical Pyrrhic victory but a strategic triumph. The Nationalists' ability to sustain operations in the north was thus critically weakened.
Nationalists' "Pincer from East and West":
Western Front (Basque): While San Sebastián fell, the Nationalists achieved rapid breakthroughs in the Basque interior at Elizondo and the 108,59 area, demonstrating their field army's continued potency.
Southern Front (Andalusia): The victory at Guillena was another heavy blow in the south, expanding their control.
Dilemma: Although the Nationalists were successful on multiple ground fronts, their most valuable technical troops and heavy equipment suffered a catastrophic loss at San Sebastián, a loss difficult to replace quickly in the early stages of the war.
Republicans' "Northern Decisive Battle" Strategy:
The Republicans clearly viewed the Northern Front as the decisive battlefield, sparing no cost to take San Sebastián. This was likely to: ① Severely damage the Nationalists' most combat-effective technical forces; ② Boost national morale.
After paying a heavy price to achieve their primary strategic objective, Republican offensives in other parts of the north (Elgoibar, etc.) also succeeded.
Fundamental Shift in the Strategic Balance:
Nationalists: Lost the spearhead of offense and pillar of defense in the northern theater (artillery). Their future offensives will rely more on infantry assaults, with significantly reduced firepower. Despite gains in the south, their overall war potential was severely damaged.
Republicans: Although suffering grievous personnel losses, they gained the initiative in the northern theater and severely crippled the enemy's war machine. They control major northern ports, potentially opening avenues for more foreign aid. The morale and political gains are incalculable.
Forecast:
The Nationalist offensive in the north will likely stall or even reverse. Republicans will attempt to exploit the victory at San Sebastián to clear the Basque region.
The Nationalists may concentrate all remaining elite forces on the Madrid axis, seeking a quick victory in the center to offset northern losses.
The nature of the war may shift from the initial war of rapid maneuver to a more brutal, slow war of infantry attrition and siege warfare.
Summary: This day was a key turning point in the Spanish Civil War. Through a brutal yet effective strategic exchange, the Republicans traded massive infantry casualties for the opportunity to cripple the Nationalists' technical superiority. The fall of San Sebastián was not just the capture of a city, but a major setback for the Nationalists' "modern" warfare capabilities. From this point, the balance of the civil war began to tilt towards the Republican government, which could endure greater attrition and had prospects for external support.
