I wanted to let you know how valuable it is. I'm developing a scattering of Spanish units for Talavera but not strictly rebuilding the whole army or intending to re-fight it. I just bought Cronin and Summerfield's Spanish Army of the Earlier Penininsular War (two volumes) and will be using your articles and downloaded paper. Just wanted you to know that six years on and this sort of research and posting is still highly valuable. Thanks for sharing your painstaking research.Unlucky Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483184112954794715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-27893150387586155272020-05-13T13:05:08.939-07:002020-05-13T13:05:08.939-07:00Hi Martyn,

When it comes to Napoleonics I think 18mm has so much to offer it's not hard to get enthusiastic and I am really looking forward to getting stuck into Bassecourt's Spanish regulars<br /><br />I love your own little corner of cyberspace which has inspired my own efforts. I took copious notes on your Albuera research all filed away ready for when I get to 1811.<br /><br />Cheers<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-75048629961535397642015-12-17T13:25:33.769-08:002015-12-17T13:25:33.769-08:00Great to see another Spanish enthusiast in 15/18mm...Great to see another Spanish enthusiast in 15/18mm.

There has been a bit of a "hiccup" with Warmodelling recently and it has proven difficult to get hold of figures in the UK but I am hoping that will resolve itself fairly soon. Saying that I managed to pick up a few useful packs yesterday.<br /><br />I will detail what figures and components I have used as I produce each unit, and drop me a line if you think I can help.<br />Cheers<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-11974299439651024092015-02-07T17:26:04.048-08:002015-02-07T17:26:04.048-08:00JJ, this was a great post.
