…Marshal Bessières' great victory
This is a book I read with pleasure. As someone interested in the Peninsular War, I found the details of the battle well-recounted, and it's one of the few that emphasizes the Spaniards' resolve to defend their homeland. It's also worthwhile to read about the qualities of Marshal Bessières, who isn't often mentioned in detail as a leader in Napoleonic history. Recomended to read.

I have based my Spanish army in no small part on the Spanish OOB for Medina del Rioseco. I even have the Los Colorados regiment. Ridden down by French cavalry and destroyed in this battle. link |

There were two units from Buenos Aires, the other one was called "San La Muerte"…
