I have been sorting out the Austrians today and they need little other than the addition of a few command figures and aides de camp- I will major on the Spanish. As kindly suggested I intend to start with the non white uniform Spanish - Swiss , Irish etc. I had been reading up my booklet about the Spanish Army of the 1740's and had been thinking of going in that direction- great minds think alike!
What I have in mind is a force to fight using BAR the sort of battle described as " an action" in the book " The War game " by Charles Grant. Nothing too big - enough for tactical fun on my dining room table...
I have made a start with some armoured Spanish sappers/engineers and will move onto the mountain light infantry- not a whole unit but enough to skulk in woods and give the grenzers something to think about...
I have enclosed another picture to show you all what the Duchy is like.Note the rugged scenery and beautiful lake. It is Lago di San Pedro and features some settlements by the lake as well as mountain villages - good for defense...
Have good evening gentlemen- wherever you are...
As usually, you have inspired me. I'll post some pictures of my small Spanish Army on the Beerstein site. Can wait to see the development of your army...Bill
