It certainly seems that Republican Spain wins more than they used too, but I am not sure that isn't correct. Before, as the Brits, I always sent material but even then, they would lose 3 out of 4 times. Now it seems that if the Brits send aid, the Republicans always win --but maybe that is correct. However, Spain seems much less important in Doomsday that it did in Hearts of Iron II. I have never seen an AI Germany take out a Republican Spain in Doomsday or a Nationalist Spain join the Axis. Both of those events happened often in the previous game.
