Luso-Spanish (Iberian) Wars
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.
