About the game
One of the very first wargames ever published in Spain, along with "Rommel y Montgomery", "La Segunda Guerra Mundial" or "La Batalla del Ebro", among others. It was published in 1981. NAC published a second range of games a few years later, including "La Guerra de España" (1986), which is a different game about the same conflict. Components are: a 64 x 88 cms board, 336 counters (Republican Army, International Brigades, National Army, CTV, Condor Legion, etc), rulebook, one dice and several sheets. As any other NAC game, it´s very easy to play. La Guerra Civil Española (1936) Edición 2009 is a remake of the game made by Spanish fans in 2009 with improved components and art counter and both, the original rules of the game and a completely new, alternative version.
