Throughout the brutal Peninsular War, the Spanish artillery fought under extremely difficult conditions, often lacking proper equipment, horses and supplies. Despite these hardships, Spanish gun crews earned a reputation for courage and determination while facing the armies of Napoleon.
Spanish artillery batteries were divided between horse and foot formations, although the chronic shortage of horses meant many guns were actually hauled by mules or oxen across the rough landscapes of Spain.
The howitzer provided Spanish forces with valuable indirect firepower, capable of launching explosive shells in high arcs over friendly troops and into enemy formations. These weapons proved especially useful when targeting defended positions or disrupting advancing French attacks.
For Black Powder, this Spanish howitzer adds both tactical variety and historical flavour to Peninsular War armies, offering valuable artillery support for your tabletop battles.
The realistic gun, crew equipment and dynamic poses make this artillery piece especially rewarding to paint and deploy alongside larger Spanish infantry formations.
Even while struggling with shortages and outdated resources, Spanish artillery batteries continued to play a vital role in resisting Napoleon’s occupation of the Iberian Peninsula.
