A Deep and Historically Rich New Wargame on the Spanish Civil War that “Anticipated” World War II
No Pasarán! There are thousands of wargames set during the Second World War, allowing military history enthusiasts to retrace this terrible conflict across every front and at every scale. Far fewer titles, however, focus on the Spanish Civil War, a conflict that many historians consider almost a true dress rehearsal for the Second World War itself.
The Spanish Civil War is of particular interest to wargame and military history enthusiasts, as it foreshadowed the coming of a much greater conflict, just a few years later – World War II. Many of the tactics, technologies, and doctrines later employed on a global scale were first tested during this conflict, making War in Spain 1936-39 an essential experience for anyone seeking to study, understand, and recreate the origins of modern warfare.
Starting today, wargame enthusiasts can retrace, study, and analyze the Spanish Civil War through a landmark title entirely focused on this underrepresented period. Drawing on the experience of the highly acclaimed War in the Pacific – Admiral’s Edition and powered by a new engine that handles all three main dimensions of war, Land-Air-Sea, War in Spain 1936-39 is the first entry in a new wargame series that aims to enrich the operational-scale wargaming experience.
War in Spain 1936-39 stands out for its exceptional attention to historical accuracy, offering players a carefully researched and authentic portrayal of one of the most complex and influential conflicts of the 20th century. Military operations, command challenges, and force composition are represented with remarkable fidelity, delivering a truly historical wargaming experience.
Gameplay depth and realism are significantly enhanced by a dynamic AI and a highly detailed logistics system, requiring players to carefully plan supply, movement, and operations across different theaters. The game features a hyper-detailed Order of Battle, reaching down to battalion and company level, providing an unprecedented level of control and realism for experienced wargamers.
While War in Spain 1936-39 follows in the footsteps of its spiritual predecessor in covering land, air, and sea, this wargame focuses the action on the land part of the conflict – a key deciding factor in this terrible war. An updated UI helps manage your ground forces at scale for you to plan effectively and succeed as either Nationalist or Republican forces. All this and more unfolds on a precise, hand-drawn map with a scale of five nautical miles per hex, dramatically increasing immersion and situational awareness, allowing you to relive the conflict from a strategic and operational perspective with unprecedented detail and authenticity.
