Expanding campaign to include spanish civil war?

[NealT]

Do I detect a GWX 2.1.a in the works?

Yes it is interesting, it's just that subs didn't do very much during the real Spanish Civil War so I wonder what they would do. :hmm: Good luck with it though, always happy to see people making stuff.

The republican navy in the spanish war have a good fleet but was very short in commanders and skilled officers, this cause a very limited use for the navy, usually confined in ports or in some special operations, while the supplys arrive in foreign vessels like russian ships or through the french border.

In the other hand, national franco navy, have only some ships and battleships but they have the professional officers and sailors , making the use a lot more efficient.

for example, during the gibraltar blocade, the republican navy was unable to stop the flow of the african army to spain, later this was decisive because they were a skilled and professional force with the oposition only of the poor trained CNT and other republican millitias.

also the help of condor legion, and italian aviation mekes the difference

Thanks Hartmann, so it seems the Nationalist Navy already had the Republican navy bottled up so any u-boats in reality would have been superfluous. I do know the pocket battleship Deutschland was bombed, and Admiral Scheer bombarded Almería in retaliation.

No one Panzer II/III saw action in Spain during the Civil War. Only Panzer I and italian tankettes were sent to Nationalists. Me-109 fighters were sent from 1937 onwards.

The T-26 was present in Spain in respectable quantities, being a far more advanced tank that any thing that the nationalists could oppose him.

Just found this topic ( I had a simmilar idea and i want to create a new topic...:rotfl: )

Wouldn't it be possible to made spanish operations as ,,advanced tutorial", whitch would not influence the war career from 1939 on (or if possible...:hmm. Talking just about 3-5 missions to learn advanced tactics of attacking, avoiding enemy counterattacks and air attacks ( mission with Deutschland bombing??? ).

VII A could be modelled, it is quite a simmilar with VII B, just with shorter range and less aft torps. Or VII B Could be used.

I'm Highly inexperienced with modding, so just sending ,,batch of ideas". I could also work on the missions...
