Gibraltar is a planned target, but its game representation is criticized as less defensible than the real place. One explanation is the campaign map's scale: fitting the narrow isthmus into the simplified Spanish coastline would be difficult. The game also separates a port from the town and places Cadiz nearby. Those abstractions preserve a recognizable regional outline while losing terrain that matters to defence.

The game's compressed coastline and separate port lose some of Gibraltar's defensive geography.
