I would love to see an equivilent of the Otto Manuscript done by some previously unknown artist as he sat in the streets of Talavera sketching and finishing off some watercolour illustrations of what these units actually looked like rather than the pattern book illustrations we have to content ourselves with.<br /><br />Every wargame unit I see of the Spanish tends to have the typical on parade look and I really want to create a more likely on campaign appearance, with that typical shabby adapted dress code that soldiers throughout history have adopted in the field.<br /><br />I think the illustrations by Bob Marrion are really good at that. I might treat myself to his and Charles Grant's book on the Talavera campaign for inspiration.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-2673339820434265962016-08-24T04:24:36.816-07:002016-08-24T04:24:36.816-07:00Sorting out the Spanish establishments is a right ...Sorting out the Spanish establishments is a right pain in the ..... we are having much the same problems.
