The Spanish Civil War begins with a burst of movement before the game's offensive penalties bring the front to a halt. Completing the northern-war focus later removes the penalty from the divisions fighting there. Northern operations have drained army strength, so the Nationalist player plans to hold while Republican attacks consume manpower and equipment. Reinforcement around Zaragoza accompanies that defensive approach. His expectation that the Republicans will fall apart sooner belongs to this game strategy.
