From RayR - Almansa 1707 - Gutierrez's and Ronquillo's Spanish Brigades 41pts

 

More from my 2mm Almansa project


I really like these Irregular 2mm figures, some will like them and some not, but what you can achieve
painting these little chaps is amazing!
 

The is Gutierrez's Spanish Horse brigade.


There are only 2 regiments in this brigade, both have 3 squadrons.
Ordenes - Nuevo and Ordenes - Viejo, which translates to Orders Old and Orders New, which are rather strange names? I guess its something to do religious orders?


Gutierrez's Brigade fought ion the right wing in the second line under Lt General D'Asfeld and will earn me 15.5 pts to add to my total.


Next up we have Ronquillo's Brigade


Ronquillo's also fought on the right flank, but in the 1st line, under Lt General Duque de Popili.


The regiment in this brigade were Real Asturias 4 Squadrons, Amezaga's 3 squadrons and Carillo's 3 squadrons.


Amezaga


Carillo


Real Asturias


Ronquillo's brigade will earn me 25.5 pts
add that to Gutierrez's 15.5 and we get 41 pts

  4. Nice work Ray. The regimental names likely refer to Military Orders founded during the Reconquista
