Luso-Spanish Military History and Wargaming 

My specialty is 'Luso-Spanish' Military History, that is, the wars of Spain and Portugal.  This specialty has pros and cons.  The pros are that it covers a lot of history and I have an excuse to buy armies from some fascinating conflicts.  The cons are exactly the same as the pros.  

My current fascination is WWII wargaming using Crossfire - and yes the Spanish were involved.  

If you're interested in non-military aspects of Spain then check out the Spain HQ site.  

Specifically I'm interested in the following periods ... Luso-Spanish periods that is:  My site largely splits the military history and associated wargaming material (found here) from the wargaming material related to specific rules (found in other sections)  I've listed the subsections so you get an idea of the level of detail for each period.
