At the time of the Napoleonic Wars, Spain was only a shadow of its former
power. Spanish troops and leaders, as many Napoleonic historians point out,
performed badly on a large number of occasions. Yet there are a number of
battles, Bailen, Tamames, Alcaniz and San Marcial where the Spaniards fought
valiantly and gained victory. Ironically, the point most historians overlook is
the fact that the Spanish armies constituted a threat that the French simply
could not ignore. As good as Wellington's Anglo-Portuguese field army was, that
army faced multiple French armies. They could only defeat one French army at a
time. The Spanish Armies and the accompanying guerrilla warfare against French
troops tied down the remainder, allowing the Anglo-Portuguese army to ultimately
emerge victorious. In this expansion you will find 18 historical
scenarios that focus on Peninsular battles fought by the Spanish army from 1808
to 1813, plus all the new units you'll need to field for these
engagements.
The quality of Spanish troops varied, from very poor to
good, and the Spanish National Unit Reference Card presents a wealth of subtle
unit characteristics that set the Spanish Army apart from all other Coalition
armies that opposed Napoleon. Command of the Spanish Army, therefore, will truly
challenge even the most experienced Commands & Colors: Napoleonics
