The Spanish Civil had a lot in common with WWII, but there were some key differences. I’ve got a separate page on the historical Spanish Civil War Order of Battle. Here I have attempted to explain the organisation of the dominant formations as they would appear in Fuego Cruzado – my variant of Crossfire for Spain’s wars.
Note, a Crossfire Platoon corresponds to a Section in a real Company of the Spanish Civil War. I’ve adopted the Crossfire terminology here to avoid confusion.
