Description
Napoleon Bonaparte's seemingly invincible French army suffered their firstdefeat of the Napoleonic Wars at the hands of the Spanish Army at Baylen in1808. This was arguably the zenith of the Spanish army’s achievements duringthe wars.
History has not looked back favourably on the armies of Spain during theNapoleonic Wars. They suffered many defeats but also pinned down huge numbers ofFrench troops in a vicious war that sapped the strength of innumerable Frenchunits only too glad to leave a country where they were so hated. Although thevicious Spanish guerrillas wreaked havoc upon their French foes the Spanishregulars also caused thousands of casualties on their home soil.
Most regiments had two battalions – second and third battalions werecomposed entirely of fusiliers carrying the distinctive Sencilla (or Ordenanza)white flag with red bourbon saltire. We know many gamers like to field two flagsin a battalion no matter what history says so we’ve included two ensignfigures. If you are more historically minded, we’ve added an extra fusilier(Shhh, don’t tell the boss…) free of charge!
A Spanish army looks terrific on the tabletop, and though generally of poorquality, quantity has a quality of its own, and the Spanish troops improved inthe war. So, ensure your units have been blessed by the priest before leadingthem to drive out Boney’s hated invaders from mother Spain!
