However, for Talavera (also in 1809) I did utilize Hat 8083 Prussian 1806 Line Infantry to depict the old 'regular' infantry, and any French shako style figure (ESCI,ITALERI...) for the 'new recruits'. For cavalry use ITALERI (REVELL) Prussian cuirassiers for the 'regular' and any other figure for the 'new' units.<br />You can see them at my web site<br /><br />http://rafaelpardoalmudi.com/conversion.html<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />RafaRafael Pardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482026140017463557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311583115457590788.post-21364024800754967802009-10-18T10:47:07.163+02:002009-10-18T10:47:07.163+02:00Hi Rafa,

There were some battles won by the Spanish, butthey were few and marginal (exception made from Bailen)<br />Regards<br />RafaRafael Pardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482026140017463557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311583115457590788.post-75826030058473287302009-10-17T16:40:04.079+02:002009-10-17T16:40:04.079+02:00Interesting that the French lost an eagle to the S...Interesting that the French lost an eagle to the Spanish forces. This goes against my impression that the Spanish Napoleonic army was fairly ineffective.

There are a small core of veterans of the old Army, but the main army is made from recrutis.<br />Regards<br />RafaRafael Pardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482026140017463557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311583115457590788.post-3720023061935354292009-10-17T15:39:03.237+02:002009-10-17T15:39:03.237+02:00Sounds like am interesting battle.
