If you’re not and are able to get occasional surrender here and there. Trophies of war 1/5 or 4/5 – If you’re sure you know how surrenders work, actively seek them, then it’s a very good trait as communist tanks are awesome compared to yours. Even considering you need to buy auxilliaries in this campaign, only buy as little as you absolutely need. There are better options though.Īuxiliary 0/5 – Actively avoid it Thing is, you should avoid auxiliaries unless absolutely necessary (sadly in civil war you are forced to pay for infantry) for three reasons: they cost prestige, steal xp from you units, don’t carry the exp over. You will get more experienced units in earlier missions which will make it a bit easier. You start very green, but hardly great, you will end up capping exp of your units anyway. Even with SCW bad tanks, being able to move quicker and catch the infantry/artillery in the open is how you want to play.īattle academy 2/5 – Somewhat useful trait. Master of Blitzkrieg 5/5 – best trait you can get. But it becomes very good if you play with shroud on (not only fog of war, but whole map is invisible). Liberator 1/5 – mediocre – If you play well, without needless losses, you will never starve for prestige and will end up having a lot more than you can spend.ĭeep recon 1/5– It’s a good trait, but hardly great. Industry Connections 0/5 – I consider it worthless, as you never get enough to field more than one unit, and once it’s damaged you only have a very limited number of replacements. Remember that your units will carry over and will be the backbone of your army so field them, get them awarded and experienced. Panzer General 4/5 – Great overall, not that great in Spanish civil war, as tanks are weak, but still good. Infantry general 0/5 – As you will not get your infantry, only auxiliaries in civil war it is worthless. The only positive is that your enemy isn’t much better than you. You artillery is pretty bad and your strongest point may be your expensive airforce. Use bombers rather than tanks to fight other armor.

You will need to make sure you only use them in the open terrain, hunting for other infantry, scouts and artillery. Tanks you have are very early models, and when coupled with the fact that they are inexperienced, they can get hurt easily and don’t do much damage. You will have to buy auxiliaries during every battle. It’s quite different in design from the main campaign and differs a lot from 1939-1942 grand campaigns.įirst of all, you need to remember that you get no infantry of your own for the whole campaign, so your infantry units will get no XP and can’t level. When choosing the traits for SCW, you need to consider it’s characteristics. Most of my remarks hold true for future campaigns but before starting SCW you need to consider that it is very specific. I tried to assess their usefulness in this campaign as I wanted to make a quick guide for those who want to start their GC. I wrote a brief analysis of General’s traits you can choose at the start of Spanish Civil War Grand Campaign.
