Question:
No 2nd Loyalist-printed Bre.19 in case Sevilla does not rise? Errata says use A-101 instead, but it has different ratings! (Bre.19 is 0A1 1/8, A-101 is 1A1 1/9)
Answer:
This was a deliberate choice made by the FWtBT designers. The Bre.19 squadrons stationed in and around Sevilla were in the process of reequipping from Bre.19s to A.101s when the Spanish Civil War began. As part of this process a fair number of A-101s were in the final stages of assembly at Sevilla. Even though the insurgents quickly took Sevilla (and the facilities there that were assembling the A-101s), they failed to get any appreciable numbers of A-101s into service (I think this was because of a shortage of engines, but I may be wrong) and just kept flying the Bre.19s instead. However, had Sevilla stayed Loyalist, the pre-war plan to replace the existing Bre.19s with A-101s would probably have quickly been implemented.
