The Spanish Civil War is a quick playing, moderately complex operational simulation of this war. Brigade-Divisional level, monthly turns for the first phase of the war and bimonthly turns from November 1936 until the end of the war. 480 1/2" counters and 1 big hex map. One grand campaign and multiple scenarios, including some What-if? scenarios speculating with WW2 beginning in September 1938 or a hypothetical Axis invasion of Spain and Portugal in 1941-42, complete with German Panzers, the Portuguese army, or British and Free French expeditionary forces.
In TSCW, players play the roles of the military commanders of both sides: Generals Rojo for the Republicans and Franco for the Nationalists, with influence of politics and diplomatic events such as the Munich Agreement, the Anschluss, recognition of Franco’s regime by France or Great Britain, the withdrawal of the International Brigades, etc. etc. being handled using a The Great War in Europe-style chit system. The game system is based on the classic Igo-Ugo/movement-combat system, with the players having the possibility of achieving a “breakthrough” of the front, advancing after combat several hexes if they achieve overwhelming odds.
Short scenarios (6-8 turns) can be played to completion in 2-3 hours, the full game is 19 turns long and can be finished in one sitting (approximately 8-9 hours).
