I am looking for a list of the units involved in this battle. Does anyone know of online or print resources for this battle? Many Thanks!

It was featured as a boardgame in issue 7 of the Spanish wargaming magazine Soldados y Estrategia.

Ian Croxall, of Warflag and Blenheim 2004, has put out a .pdf file with a map and complete OoB. I just wish I could remember where he posted it!! An email to Lace Wars Yahoo group should get it. Ed

The boardgame enclosed in issue 7 of the magazine "Soldados y Estrategia" ( recently having its name changed to "Wargames" ) was in fact published in co-operation with Simtac-Ludopress ( pubisher of the magazine "Alea" as well as several high quality boardgames in Spanish ) . Simtac-Ludopress website is inactive these last days, but you can try and get into contact with "Wargames" team at revistasprofesionales.com On tbe other hand, I know about a website dealing with the whole Spanish Succession War, from the point of view of the Kingom of Aragon, which embraced the cause of Archduke Charles ( thus entering war against Castile and France ) . This website URL is webpersonal.net/moria/. You'll find that it's written entirely in Catalan, but with a knowledge of French or Spanish you should manage well inside its pages. Once in its Home page, click on the "Batalles" button to get into its Battles section. Cheers, Lluís Catalonia ( Spain )

Almena ediciones has published this month a book (Osprey Campaign format) upon Almansa. I don't read it yet and it is in Spanish.
