Description
The Spanish army of the Napoleonic wars was probably the worst to take the field in any European theatre of war. It was certainly large and its soldiers were uniformed in the most colourful and widely differing uniform selections known in the Napoleonic period yet it only managed a small number of victories against the French and only one of any importance, that being Baylen in 1808. The Spanish pitted themselves time and time again in field engagements with the French, only to put up a half-hearted display before routing.
The Spanish army was badly organised, trained, equipped and led and therefore suffered from a severe self-doubt which was in contrast to the Spaniards as individuals who were usually fired by the zeal to rid themselves of the ghastly invading French.
This pack will furnish you with three mounted infantry officers to lead your brigades on Black Powder battlefields.
