Available guides for the Spanish Civil War?

[streetgang]

I keep getting tempted by the Spanish Civil War, can anyone recommend good wargamer guides, books, online sources for organization, uniforms, scenarios and background info? Gracias!

You will have to scroll through a lot of posts but some very useful information here:

Book wise the Osprey series give a good overview and Beevor's SCW book is excellent, if a bit lengthy.

This site is an excellent resource for all things regarding AFVs used:

Depending on what level of actions you want to fight, there is an article on using Chain of Command for the SCW, with some army lists, in the TFL 2013 Christmas Special, plus a couple of articles on vehicles.

I have the Osprey rules - A World Aflame - while a bit old school rules wise, they certainly have a lot of good info.

I'll second the SCW article in the Lardies christmas special

I too have been looking at the Pendraken range - and keep telling my self not to add another period.

Gently deluded - its easier that way.

I will kid myself until the heavy brown envelope lands on the doormat.
