ORIGINAL: Joseignacio We used to play a couple of times spending 2 OFF to get Spain. It seems this rule became popular here in Spain, lol. Even that way it was too powerful. In the board game, years ago, we played like that, but it was too easy. The key that rebalances the rule is having to conquer France and not being able to do Vichy France. We introduced this rule on its historical basis, Franco would have entered the war if Hitler had been willing to pay its price and without Vichy France it was possible. I believe in our version you had to collapse Vichy as well, although I am not possitive. As for Franco, they say he asked for Gibraltar AND half of Vichy's North African Colonies, and GE was not going to give that if they wanted Vivhy loyal. Some say Franco dodn't want to get into the war, that's why. The country was ravaged by three years of vendetta war by both sides and bombing, however even though the most of the army which was not maimed, or war sick , or needed to return to productive economy (whatever it meant after all this) , some divisions or even corps could have been used and they were experienced soldiers. Like the Division Azul proved in USSR, some unexperienced rookies but many veterans and cadres.
