Bring firepower to bear at short notice with this mobile light gun for your Spanish Black Powder collection!

Heirs to a long and proud martial tradition, Spain would initially be France’s ally in the early Napoleonic Wars before being occupied by the French in 1808, with Joseph Bonaparte installed as a puppet king. With the majority of Spaniards rejecting French rule, and fighting bitterly against it, the Spanish army would see significant service alongside their British allies. A key part of this army was the artillery. ‘Horse’ artillery, consisting of highly mobile light guns, was intended to race across the battlefield to wherever it was needed, often proving decisive in defeating enemy assaults or supporting attacks.

An essential part of any Spanish Black Powder force, this 8-pdr gun is ready to deploy on your tabletop when it’s needed most!

This pack contains one 8-pdr gun with four crew, cast in metal.

    Napoleon Bonaparte's seemingly invincible French army suffered their first defeat of the Napoleonic Wars at the hands of the Spanish Army at Baylen in 1808. This was arguably the zenith of the Spanish army’s achievements during the wars. History has not looked back favourably on the armies of Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. They suffered many defeats but also pinned down huge numbers of French troops in a vicious war that sapped the strength of innumerable French units only too glad to leave a country where they were so hated. Although the vicious Spanish guerrillas wreaked havoc upon their French foes the Spanish regulars also caused thousands of casualties on their home soil. Box Contains:
    • 25 Warlord Resin Napoleonic Spanish Infantry miniatures
    • Background leaflet with 12 full-colour flags
    • Plastic Bases
