Hmm, I can create one army in the North on turn one with my only 3 star general. I created several corps in the North.
Then when Franco is released, I dissolved that army, recreated the army with Franco - without dissolving the other army Franco wouldn't form an army - created corps in the South, transferred Franco to the North, and recreated the Northern corps. So the Nationalists can create a single army from the start.
I think the command situation for the Nationalists is not too bad. They have enough generals from the start to keep most of their forces in command, but the in the area outside the army range the officers are often passive (no army bonus) so I mostly relied on troops without general in offensive mode to gain military control in a corridor connecting North and South.
I am in September now, and I have consolidated a bit, put up a defence near Madrid and at Zaragossa, but from Bilbao the Republicans are beating my line. I think I will send some Southern troops by train up North now to strengthen the Northern front and start conquering some factories.

In Andalusia the Republicans destroyed a lot of rail lines. I wonder when I will be able to repair them. They are not too critical though, because the long North South connection is intact.
I was wondering why my forces never finished their plotted turns, until I discovered that turns were only 7 days, not two weeks :-)
