Conflict Overview:
Ever since the death of the dictator Franco, Spain has been descending into a civil between anarcho-communists in Catalonia and the Basque country, the military and its fascist allies and the moderates. While the Soviets support the anarcho-communists, the Europeans back the moderates in Madrid. The US is suspiciously silent on the conflict, but it is speculated that they covertly support the fascists.

OPFOR: Franco-Loyalists

Western European weaponry.

BLUFOR: Portuguese
Uniform: Green Fatigues, Mk V Helmet.
Western European weaponry.

Recent Events:
With the Civil War in full swing, the moderate government has petitioned further European involvement in the form of push for the Atlantic harbours, cutting of their supplies. A combined arms assault in the Gallecia region will be the first step. British paratroopers will capture key bridges to allow armoured units from Portugal to cross into the region and bring sufficient force to bear on Maceda.
