Spanish Foot Artillery 8-pdr

While many Spanish formations struggled with inconsistent training and supply, the artillery crews consistently demonstrated discipline under fire. Throughout the Peninsular War, Spanish gun batteries supported defensive positions and infantry lines against repeated French assaults.

Officially, Spanish foot artillery batteries were intended to field six 8-pounder guns, though shortages in manpower and equipment often reduced this number considerably. The lack of horses across the army meant that many artillery pieces were instead hauled by mules or oxen during campaigns.

For Black Powder, this artillery set provides an excellent support piece for Napoleonic Spanish armies, bringing both historical authenticity and additional battlefield firepower to your tabletop forces.
