Black Powder Napoleonic Spanish foot artillery 8-pdr New

The best of a bad lot’ the artillerymen of the Spanish Army displayed spirit and courage that was rarely matched by their countrymen. Batteries were split between horse and foot, the former having 4 pounders and the latter having 8 pounders. Batteries were supposed to have six guns each, but this was rarely achieved and batteries usually had four guns only. The fact that the batteries were called foot or horse meant little; a severe shortage of horses meant both were drawn in the main by mules and oxen. 


This box contains one 28mm metal 8-pdr field gun with four metal Spanish foot artillery crew.
