Battles for Spain

This one caught my eye. Was reviewed by Bill Gray over at wargamer. Didn't even know it existed...

Interesting conflict and looks like an interesting game.

Here's the Wargamer review.  I wonder how it compares to the Ageod game?  https://www.wargamer.com/reviews/battles-for-spain/

Just came here to post this but you beat me to it  :D

Looks very cool.  This is by the same developer who did Wars Across the World, but it looks like they buckled down to deliver a fully fleshed out wargame experience focused on one conflict.  I've been on the hunt for more SCW games, so I'll definitely check this one out.

What Spanish Civil War games are out there?  I have Espania 1936 - but it looks like one of those games where the computer plays itself.

I'm very interested in the conflict and have read a number of books on the subject.

^ John Tiller Software has a Squad Battles game set in the SCW.  There are also some unofficial ASL scenarios but that's about all I can think of.

I saw it and like the fact different than most stuff....but for some reason at least for me, currently at a price ($30) that I likely wouldn't get the value out of based on my habits.  Future sale watch for me.

It's using a modified version of the Wars Across the World Engine (which I think Headquarters licensed from Avalon Digital), but the dev team have their roots in AGEOD games. I think this is the same team that made Espagne 1936?

I've only really got Bill's comments in the early part of the review to go on so I'd have to ask him directly to clarify, but this isn't the WatW team, it's an AGEOD-trained team working with the WatW engine.
