line and are considered solid line connections for all purposes. Two spaces connected by a single line (of any type) are said to be Adjacent to each other. Two spaces connected by one or more connection lines crossing only friendly-controlled spaces are said to be Connected to each other.
All Division-sized and Corps-sized Units are printed on both sides of the counter. Each side is called a step, and almost all Combat Units have two steps. The front side represents the unit at full strength, and the reverse side represents the unit at reduced strength.

NOTE: This means that all Adjacent spaces are “Connected”, but Connected spaces are not necessarily “Adjacent”. E.g. Madrid is Connected to Barcelona at the start of the Campaign Game since the Republican Player can trace from Madrid to Barcelona along connection lines going only through friendly-controlled spaces, but Madrid is not Adjacent to Barcelona.
Event number that enters the unit
There are also some special connections:
Blue = NAT Red = REP Black = International (AXIS or SOV ) Loss Factor
Note that, for most units, the reduced strength side has a weaker Combat Factor than the full strength side of the unit, while the Loss Factor and Movement Factor remain the same. If a counter has only one side with factors, that side is its full strength (i.e. it is a one step unit). The number of Combat Units is limited to those provided.
• The possible invasion Beach Head on Mallorca is Adjacent to Mallorca with an arrow. This Beach Head space is only available after the appropriate Republican Event Card is played. Otherwise, ignore this space; it may not be used. • Connections to France and Portugal are shown by dotted lines. These connections are only used for limited supply (see 13.4.2.). • The Oviedo and Puerto de Leitariegos spaces are connected with a line of blue circles, which is only used if playing with the Optional Rule “The Corridor of Grado” (see PB 18.2.3).
A Combat Unit with a N## or R## on the right side of the counter is a reinforcement that only enters play when the corresponding Card is played for the Event. Of these, the various armor units (T- 26, PZ-I and CV-33) are special in that they can gain a Die Roll Modifier (DRM) when attacking if they meet certain conditions (see 16.6) – this special ability is denoted by the white combat factor for these units on their full strength sides.
2.1.3 Charts and Boxes The game map also contains a wide range of information, as well as a number of charts and boxes where units are placed and various game functions are tracked.
2.2.2 Game Markers There are several different types of Game Markers (on both large and small counters) that are placed on the game map or on the Markers Card. Markers with a R## or N## on the right side of the marker only enter play when the specified Card is played for the Event.
2.2 THE PLAYING PIECES
2.2.2.1. General Information Markers. These are used to record general game data such as the current Turn, Victory Point (VP) and Republican Morale (RM) levels, number of Replacement Points (RP’s) for each side, etc.
2.2.1 Combat Units There are two types of Combat Units: Division-sized Units and Corpssized Units. • Division-sized Units represent forces of between 1,000 and 10,000 men (columns, regiments, brigades or divisions, depending on the War Phase) and are 16 mm counters. • Corp-sized Units represent large bodies of troops (Army Corps with up to 35,000 men) supported by artillery, air units, support services, etc., and are 20 mm counters.
