"In 1807, during the second British invasion, the first unit to engage the enemy on this side of the Rio de la Plata was the 3rd Hussars Squadron known as the Hussars of Nuñez. Ancient stories tell that when pulling away from Barragan to Quilmes, take part a first fight that forced the British to delay their advance , but it was not the last. Here goes the story of one of many battles that took place during the long and painful march of the British on Buenos Aires…"

Very nice example of fur terrain! I think it is very well done.
I am very interested in this short campaign (probably because I was borned and raised near that place).
Thanks for sharing.
Regards.

Para mí también es un gusto (no somos muchos los Argentinos que compartimos este interés). Aprovecho la oportunidad para agradecerte por tanta información interesante que has compartido en este sitio durante estos años. Siempre nos estás acercando material que en muchas oportunidades,a mí por lo menos, me ha resultado de mucha utilidad.
Ahora que veo de nuevo acá el terreno de Carlos (ya lo había visto porque soy seguidor de su blog), me doy cuenta que además de ser un buen ejemplo del "fur terrain", eligió una técnica muy acertada para representar esa zona. Debe ser por eso que me llamó tanto la atención!
Gracias nuevamente.
Un abrazo.
César.
