Battle of Talavera 1809 at MillenniumCon Texas

Battle of Talavera at MillenniumConXXI

Tom Lytle from the Lone Star Historical Miniatures (LSHM) club in Texas put on the Battle of Talavera 1809 in 15mm at our annual Wargaming show 9-11 November in Austin Texas.
This was a refight of the epic battle pitting the French v. Wellington in Spain. Will history change or will Wellington see the French off in the same old way? Tom and his group from Houston Texas use a set of rules they developed themselves called: Quelle Affaire.

The Battle of Talavera was fought just outside the town of Talavera de la Reina, Spain some 80 miles southwest of Madrid, during the Peninsular War. At Talavera, an Anglo-Spanish army under Sir Arthur Wellesley combined with a Spanish army under General Cuesta in operations against French-occupied Madrid.

A very impressive display!
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?
