That's exactly the way I went for my 28mm Spanish army and it feels "right" to me. <br />The 15mm group I game with however put one company of grenadiers in each battalion, following Nafziger's reading of the 1803 regulations (page 18 of the Armies of Spain and Portugal) so I went that way for my 15mm project but have never been completely convinced. To me that's one of the "fun" things about the Spanish in that they are one of the more enigmatic Napoleonic armies.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-72246491056255341962017-02-24T14:59:55.977-08:002017-02-24T14:59:55.977-08:00Keep up the good workKeep up the good workRulane10@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046695889077051070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-38383362610996797682017-02-24T10:33:42.908-08:002017-02-24T10:33:42.908-08:00Hey Colbourne, thanks very much mate.

So according to both sources, under the 1802 regulations, Spanish line infantry regiments were authorised to have three battalions of four companies with the first battalion having two grenadier and two fusilier companies and the other battalions composed of just four fusilier companies. <br />I have deliberately indicated which battalions I am modelling so as to follow the regulations. thus when I get around to them the 1st battalion, Reyna regiment will have three bases of grenadiers and three bases of fusiliers and command figures to represent that 50:50 split. Hope that helps<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-64660477633755253482017-02-24T06:35:12.664-08:002017-02-24T06:35:12.664-08:00Fantastic paintwork!Fantastic paintwork!Colbournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225603671246908286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-65691413268316311722017-02-24T04:44:29.016-08:002017-02-24T04:44:29.016-08:00I'm particularly interested in your thoughts J...I'm particularly interested in your thoughts JJ as to the distribution of grenadier companies in Spanish line and guard regiments having also read and re-read the relevant paragraphs in Nafziger and Chartrand many times (although I would guess that the "correct" answer is "nobody knows", less cares). <br /><br />Great work as usual.<br />Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.com
