Viva España!

by on 5th Sep 2013

The fighters make themselves heard. Nationalists on one side and Republicans on the other vie for control of Spain, in an extremely fierce civil war that lasted from July 1936 to April 1939. This is the very subject matter of Ageod's freshly disclosed grand strategy game España 1936.

With España 1936 you could recreate the famous battles of Jarama, Guadalajara and Ebro, command the International Brigades or the Army of Africa. Could you conquer Madrid and force the Republic to surrender, or will you lead to victory the Anarchist units of Durruti?

With a high level of rich historical detail and historical accuracy, it is the first computer strategy game covering the whole conflict. The player must face the real dilemmas and challenges of the Republicans and Nationalists during the war. Not only must you build and train armies, manoeuvre them and engage the enemy, but you must also have to manage your nation resources in order to get the best from them.

Featuring the complete war scenario and the "Fall of the North" scenario, hundreds of historical leaders, units and events, España: 1936 is a must-have for any grand strategy fan.

Here are the features, Señores:

• Scenarios - 3 tutorials, 1 Fall of the North scenario and a Grand Campaign featuring the whole war.
• Detailed game model - includes features such as Weather, Attrition, Supply and Fog of War
• Command System - based on the Revolution Under Siege system allowing representation of historical Spanish Civil War army command.
• Quick and simple system of Construction of Units - allows players to choose and purchase their forces as they wish.
• Decisions features - playable on the map, like wild cards assets. This innovative card system lets you trigger events such as aerial bombardments or partisan attacks, which used wisely can change the flow of a campaign.
• Diversified set of historical events - allowing multiple choices of events and options, thereby enhancing flexibility and re-playability.
• Interwar period warfare - different updates and other rules, in particular combat system adapted to the period between the two World Wars.
• Game map - showing the Spanish mainland and neighbouring lands, with over 300 different regions and sea areas - a lot of room for manoeuvre.
• Over 200 historical leaders - each with specific pictures. 90 historical models of combat elements (Legion, Anarchists, Regulars, Militia...)

The first screenshots have now been made publicly available at The Wargamer here, where some additional information can also be gleaned.
