General Cuesta & the 5th Infantry Division - Talavera
« on: May 28, 2017, 09:36:51 AM »
The final formation required to fight the afternoon attack at Talavera is complete together with the general officers commanding it.

I have posted some pictures of the division as a whole together with General's Bassecourt and Cuesta.



With just a half battery of Spanish horse guns close to completion the table will be being set up up in the next few weeks prior to the first of four planned games this summer and autumn in support of 'Combat Stress'

Often it is better to remain silent and let people think you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove all possible doubt.

Of course! I've already bookmarked your blog.
I'm a fan of the period and we've played Talavera with V&B.

Hi Jonathan

Excellent information as usual, along with your blog a great place to visit and be educated for a new wargamer such as myself.
