@theveteran Thanks for that. The rules of the Admiral Edition actually are very clear about the outcome of the Spanish Civil war. Same as the basic rules, Germany gets 1 infantry in Berlin until Spain is aligned with Germany. So that makes sense now.

Thanks for pointing out Admiral Edition. HBG should have just removed the other one from the website to avoid confusion.

@theveteran I guess that is a balancing mechanism; Germany is only getting 1 infantry unit and the USSR is only getting 3 rolling chances on alignment. Seems like the regular SCW expansion rules are encouraging both Axis and USSR to keep that war as a stalemate so that each side can align their puppets once war broke out between Germany and USSR. It is a different way to play the SCW.

In the basic game rules(p.57), if the Nationalists win the Spanish civil war, Germany will get an infantry unit in Berlin every turn until Spain aligned with Germany.

But in the Spanish Civil Expansion rules(p.10), if the Nationalists win the Spanish civil war, Germany is getting this Blue Legion unit only if Germany and USSR are at war. And the wordings in this expansion rule seem to imply Germany only gets this Blue Legion once only.

Same Nationalist win but these 2 different rules seem to have very different outcomes for the Axis. Is this intentional to be this way or am I missing something here?

Thank you in advance for looking into this.
