April, 1941: After months of fruitless negotiations and growing tension, German troops march across the borders of yet another neutral nation—Spain. Panzer divisions supported by stuka groups race into the interior followed by the slower infantry formations, as Germany tries to add another victim to the blitzkrieg. The Spanish Army, however, is already partially mobilized and raises its main defenses in the mountainous interior instead of along the frontier. Meanwhile, British expeditionary forces land at Spanish ports along both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, to aid the Spanish Army, to threaten the German flanks, and to protect Gibraltar. The battle for Spain is begun.

The preceding is a description of the possible opening moves of a hypothetical German invasion of Spain in the spring of 1941. This operation is given as the Battle for Spain scenario, which is part of Spain and Portugal. The scenario uses rules and components from The Fall of France (Europa VII) and is not playable by itself.

Spain and Portugal is an Europa module covering Spain and Portugal during World War II; it consists of a map, counters, and chart set. The 21″ by 27″ map covers the Iberian Peninsula from Portugal to Spain’s Ebro valley, linking with westernmost Spain on the Fall of France (Europa VIII) map. The map, at the standard Europa scale of 16 miles per hex, displays the wide variety of terrain types of Spain, from the many mountainous regions to the occasional lowland swamp. The 240 counters cover the armed forces of Spain and Portugal at Europa scales. Ground units are divisions, brigades, regiments, and battalions. Air units represent groups of 40 to 60 aircraft, organized by model and type, such as HE 1118 bombers, Spitfire V fighters, and JU 52 transports. Naval units represent individual large warships and flotillas of smaller vessels. The counters also include the British garrison at Gibraltar and other British forces for use in the Battle for Spain scenario. The charts include the Europa mobilization schedules for Spain and Portugal, and the Battle for Spain scenario.
