I wonder if it is possible to transform some programmed events into political or diplomatic options :
For example for the republican I thin about :
- Change in government (it could have cost : e.g. a move to a pro-communist gov cost VP or MP but make the soviet help cheaper).
- The return of the International Brigades, it seems strange to loose one of your best troop when the context is different of the historical contest (Not choosing to send the back could have a cost in VP or MP also).
There is other events I just didn't think about.
For the Nationalists, I was think about the decision to designate the leader.
Another possibility which is has been discussed elsewhere but not extensively is to make the accidental death of leader such as Mola, Sanjuro or Durruti not automatic. It could be fun and increase re-playability if death come at random on two Nationalist and one republican leaders...
It is just suggestions, I don't even know if it is possible to do it...
