The unparalleled realism in War In Spain 1936-39 has both sides using their merchant fleets to bring in supplies from their supporting countries. A new naval combat board shows the ship locations on the sea as they engage each other in battle. All surface guns, AA guns, ASW weapons are individually represented. Each ship’s crew has an experience rating for day and night combat. Every ship from battleships down to gunboats has a commander with his own strengths and weaknesses. The game includes 100s of ships chosen from dozens of ship classes.
