It only took most of the year but I have finally finished my first Spanish infantry brigade. With my British troops already painted I could actually have a Peninsular War game now – as long as the Anglo-Spanish don’t want any cavalry support.
Marching in the bright Spanish sun is the Milicias de Prov de Oviedo. You can tell that by the flag – apparently.
The battalion deploys for battle. These are Perry Miniatures Carlist war infantry. The Basque berets are not exactly right but who cares I say.
The eagle eyed among you may spot an Elite Miniatures regular officer leading this regiment.
Three battalions of Militia head off to face the French. The battalion in the background is made of Brigade Games Spanish Militia and can be seen here.
Another shot of the Oviedo Militia marching through a small village.
Their brigade is joined by a battalion of Regulars from the La Reina Regiment.
The brigade deployed for battle with partisans on the flank to harry the French.
Next step in this army is the raising of some cavalry support. Elite Miniatures Australia is now selling Spanish dragoons, so I will get some of those in due course.
A superb-looking brigade, Brian.
I’m also very much looking forward to hearing about your final choice of Spanish monks and priests – a great idea and one which I plan on shamelessly appropriating for myself (assuming that will be OK with your good self, of course).
All the best,
Lawrence.

Thanks Mark. I am enjoying this project, even if it is only moving at a slow pace.
