This page contains only basic information about the models and ships, along with the painting scheme that should be applied (the instructions on the linked page show what the specific scheme looks like).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain was one of the oldest colonial empires in the world, but by the mid-nineteenth century only remnants of that former fame and power remained. Admittedly, with the advent of ironclads, the Spaniards made an effort to build many modern ships, which made their fleet one of the most powerful ironclad fleets of the 1860s, but the country&#8217;s economic weakness and internal conflicts made them very quickly start stand out. The construction of some ships dragged on for many years, there was a shortage of funds, there was no coherent vision. Armada Espa\u00f1ola entered the war with the USA in 1898 underinvested, with great shortcomings. The Spaniards were not able to bring all the ships they owned to technical efficiency.<br>Importantly, they had to divide their fleet into three distant theaters. European waters, the Caribbean and the Philippines. Initially, it was decided that the Caribbean would be the most important, and a strong squadron of cruisers was sent there. Apart from a small squadron in the Philippines, the rest of the reasonably operational ships, including the only battleship &#8211; Pelayo &#8211; were kept in Spain.<br>The defeat in the battles of Santiago and Manila made the outcome of the naval war a doomed one. The Spaniards began to fear the expedition of the American fleet to the shores of Spain itself.<br>It is definitely a demanding fleet. A fleet for those who like challenges. The heaviest ships are missing here, but it is better among the 2nd class cruisers. But the strength of this fleet can be light ships &#8211; if used properly. Are you ready to take the challenge and take command of the toughest navy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the data for each ship, you will also find a short audio file that will let you hear how to correctly pronounce the name of that vessel.<br>All names can be listened to here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aWt80ijIi2o\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/aWt80ijIi2o<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The narrator in these recordings is Eloy Escuer Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6th_Era_%E2%80%93_predrednoughts\"><\/span>6th Era &#8211; predrednoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GMT-SPA-001_Spanish_Navy_Squadron\"><\/span>GMT-SPA-001 Spanish Navy Squadron<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the perfect set for the beginning of the adventure with the Spanish fleet.

during the 1860s for service with the Royal Spanish Navy (Armada Real).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1866 the ship was a core of Spanish escadre sent to Eastern Pacific participating in the Chincha Islands War, and shelling Valpara\u00edso and Callao. On the way back she became the first ironclad to circumnavigate the Earth for this, she earned the motto: &#8222;Enloricata navis que primo terram circuivit&#8221; &#8211; &#8222;First ironclad ship to sail around the world&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Numancia lags behind in capabilities compared to many newer vessels, her strong armour still provides good protection, and decent armament ensures defence against smaller enemy ships. This historically significant vessel will be a valuable addition to the Spanish player&#8217;s fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set includes cards for two versions of this ship, after modernization in 1885 and after reconstruction in 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15746\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja1-1024x576.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja1-300x169.png 300w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja1-768x432.png 768w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja1-1536x864.png 1536w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Layout for placing boats and armament.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15747\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja2-1024x576.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja2-300x169.png 300w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja2-768x432.png 768w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja2-1536x864.png 1536w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-SPA-012-Numancia-instrukcja2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ship with all elements placed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Numancia-e1717518463674.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Numancia-e1717518463674-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15753\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Numancia-e1717518463674-1024x576.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Numancia-e1717518463674-300x169.png 300w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Numancia-e1717518463674-768x432.png 768w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Numancia-e1717518463674-1536x864.png 1536w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Numancia-e1717518463674.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arrangement of boats and armament.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GMT-SPA-013_Ariete_class_torpedo_boat\"><\/span><strong>GMT-SPA-013 Ariete class torpedo boat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Class<\/strong>: 2.<br><strong>Base length<\/strong>: 6 cm.<br><strong>Color scheme<\/strong>: Standard Spanish.<br><strong>Models in a set<\/strong>: 4.<br><strong>Models on one base<\/strong>: 2.<br><strong>Cards in a set<\/strong>: 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ariete-1.wav\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ariete was a torpedo vessel, leading the Ariete class were torpedo boats, belonging to the Spanish Navy.

These vessels were built at the turn of the 1880s and 1890s, featuring a very sleek and elegant silhouette that enabled them to reach a speed of 19 knots. Their armament consisted of two 120 mm guns, four 57 mm guns, a single 25 mm machine gun, and two 356 mm torpedo tubes concealed in the bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the outbreak of the war in 1898, five vessels of this class were stationed in the Caribbean, with some taking part in engagements against US Navy ships. With her graceful silhouette and solid armament, this vessel will undoubtedly be an interesting choice for those commanding the fleet of the Kingdom of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, the <em>Fernando el Cat\u00f3lico<\/em>-class gunboats were already relics of a bygone era by the late 19th century. Commissioned in the mid-1870s, they displaced approximately 500 tons, had a staggering speed of 10 knots, and were armed with a single 160 mm muzzle-loading gun and two 120 mm muzzle-loading guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary role of these vessels was colonial service, flag-showing missions, and anti-piracy operations \u2013 a role for which they were perfectly adequate. Unfortunately, fate dictated that the most famous vessel of this class, <em>Marqu\u00e9s del Duero<\/em>, took part in the decisive Battle of Cavite in 1898 as the oldest ship in Admiral Montojo\u2019s squadron. She was quickly struck several times, rendering her artillery useless and forcing her crew to scuttle her in shallow waters. The Americans later salvaged the wreck, refitted her for service, but soon decommissioned and scrapped her.This small vessel will have little chance against most other gunboats, though she might still inflict damage, especially with her formidable ram.<br>Due to her modest size, she will be an affordable and useful asset for capturing islands, controlling buoys and zones, giving her a potential tactical role. Besides, how could one not appreciate such charming, old-fashioned ships?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GMT-SPA-014-Temerario-INSTRUKCJA-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16860\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GMT-SPA-014-Temerario-INSTRUKCJA-1024x576.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GMT-SPA-014-Temerario-INSTRUKCJA-300x169.png 300w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GMT-SPA-014-Temerario-INSTRUKCJA-768x432.png 768w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GMT-SPA-014-Temerario-INSTRUKCJA-1536x864.png 1536w, http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GMT-SPA-014-Temerario-INSTRUKCJA.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Temerario.
