| | 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.
