I might have sounded very down on the game in the last paragraph, but at the end of the day, I still had loads of fun with Battles for Spain. It might not have the staying power or depth of some of the genre’s greatest titles, but it’s still a very fun game, and if they ever implement a tutorial, it would make for a decent entry point into more “serious” wargames. Plus, it’s nice to see a game about a conflict that does not get covered much. More of that, please!

Good game, highly recommended, easily playable in four hours. It accurately simulates the gritty, mob style warfare that defines the Spanish Civil War, produces games that are real nail biters and has the best Chief of Staff AI I’ve ever served with. What could be better? Well given the software firms involved how about a mashup between this game and Espagne 1936, allowing battles on the strategic map to be played out in a Headquarters tactical environment?
