Spain is now a member of NATO. They have had sporadic experience fighting in their former colonies, especially in Africa. However, they fought an extended, bloody civil war in the 1930’s, and their Division Azul fought in Russia during WWII.

 Note for Merc: 2000 players- the Spanish arms industry has a long tradition of building high-quality weapons for reasonable prices.

 Many thanks to Eduardo Perez Santos for his valuable feedback.
