Portuguese 1st Cavalry Regiment

Ready for Albuera

I see a few places where I need some detail, but they're good to go.  Eureka just came out with Portuguese Cavalry figures last week and due to their speedy shipping I have some ready for battle.

British 13th Light Dragoons

Just in time for the Albuera battle this weekend . . .

Looks like I need to add brown wash to faces.

Austrian Grenadiers

Halfway through painting and basing Austrian Grenadiers.  Six "companies" of four stands completed, six more to go.  Scott B. should be able to make a lot of converged grenadier battalions from this effort.  Minis are Old Glory 15's.

Talavera 28 July 1809

What to do while the snow is coming down outside?  I know, I'll set up the Battle of Talavera!  Still have a few Spanish brigades to fill and I need to add the Tagus River to the map, but here it is so far.  Troops are poised before the big French attack at 1pm.

The photo below shows the Spanish (Allied right) troops anchored on Talavera and the breastworks in front of the Portina stream.  The blue ink show where I need to add the Tagus River and the yellow line shows where I need to add two Spanish brigades.

Photo below shows the Allied center composed of British troops.

And the Allied right held by British and Spanish (yellow lines) troops.

For the French right, Ruffin's troops backed by cavalry in the hill country

And the French center where three divisions are massed.

And the French left where Dragoons and the Leval's German Division are positioned.  All the troops lined up where the Tagus river should be the French reinforcements that arrive behind the German division.

Spanish Artillery

And some Spanish foot artillery with crew in bicorne.  Figures are Old Glory 15's from 19th Century Miniatures/Battle Honors

Latest effort provides some Spanish Cazadore (Chasseurs) Light Cavalry.  The unit in red facings is the Olicanza Regiment and the unit in blue facings is the Espana Regiment.  Figs are Old Glory 15's (a.k.a. Battle Honors, a.k.a. 19th Century Miniatures).
