España 1936

I recently had the opportunity to dive into the world of **España 1936**, a historical simulation game recreating the Spanish Civil War. As a history buff, I was immediately drawn to the game's promise of engaging gameplay and accurate historical representation. While the game itself is a bit older, it's still a fantastic experience for those looking for a deep and strategic wargame.

The game is played on a board depicting Spain, divided into connected zones, and uses counters to represent various units. The inclusion of cards to develop events and modify battles adds a dynamic element, making each game feel unique. The combat system, though simplified, feels authentic to the conflict. The turn and combat alternation creates a great back-and-forth between players, keeping everyone actively involved.

While **España 1936** doesn't rely on a random dice roll for combat (CRT), there are still opportunities for strategic decisions and resource management. I found the balance between simplicity and historical accuracy to be very well done, making the game accessible to both beginners and seasoned wargamers.

The **La Armada** expansion is a great addition, introducing naval rules and a new board for naval operations. This expansion adds a new layer of complexity and depth to the game, which I found particularly enjoyable.

Overall, **España 1936** is a highly recommended game for anyone interested in the Spanish Civil War or historical wargames. Its accessible rules, engaging gameplay, and historical accuracy make it a truly captivating experience. I'm already planning my next game!
