MacKenzie/Papineu (Canadians of the International Brigade), but only because I once met men who served in it. |

Or the International Brigades.

I got to vote for my sister union, the CNT, and the Abraham Lincoln brigade because I often march with the Friends of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. We used to have Brigaders in our Veterans for Peace chapter. |

No votes for the Blue Shirts? |

I don't know =-maybe the NKVD.
I suppose really it's the British Battalion -I surprised no one has foamed on about the Condor Legion.
I think the Basques need a look in here while we're at it.
Actually now I'm focussed on this all those blokes who fled at the end of the war and joined the SAS etc in the desert and especially the guys from the labour battalion of whatever who picked up the weapons dropped by the fleeing French and fought of the beastly Hun in 1940.
Not to mention the Spanish crewed tanks that arrived in Paris in 1944. Not strictly SCW units of course but hey. |

Republic: The British Battalion despite being an American. Something about communist British is very amusing to me. Plus their stand at Jamara was pretty inspiring. Nationalist: Humm… not to sure here. The Spanish Foreign Legion was pretty interesting to me if for no other reason than their name is cool. |

From a wargaming perspective: Carlists for the Nationalists (because of the uniforms, the red berets with tassles look fantastic when painted [I use Empress minis, primarily]) for the Republic… probably the Anarchist Militia. They also look good on the table. I think the SCW is a great war to game, since there are so many (colourful!) factions. |

It's still considered an insult in Ireland today, to call someone a "Blueshirt". |

Hard to pick just one… Thaelmanns, courtesy of Esmond Romilly's BOADILLA. CTV if we are talking Nationalists. Agree with Shagnasty about the Asaltos – good all rounders. Cheers
