AB Portuguese Line Infantry

The final battalion of Colonel Champalimaud's Third Brigade in Picton's 3rd Division.

Much simpler to paint up than British line. The first two battalions had flags from Cotton Jim's and I had always meant to upgrade to something nicer when the opportunity presented itself. The flags of Fighting 15's are to the correct scale and quality for the figures being used.

This will bring my Portuguese up to six line battalions and two cacadore battalions.

Happy to to be done with this division and am already in the progress of finishing up another division of British.

New Spanish Unit: Estremadura Regiment

My newest addition to my Spanish Napoleonic army is the Extremadura regiment. I wanted something with a little different color in the army and the deep red/crimson facings appealed to me. There's no spectacular war history with this regiment, just a good contrast to the otherwise dull white uniform.

My picture taking isn't the best despite having a very expensive DSLR camera; however the black lining should be evident to the naked eye. I was unable to locate any references for the exact coat of arms on the flag for this regiment, so whose to say what is correct or incorrect?

I didn't do the tiki striping of blue on the trousers as I don't know how it would contrast with the red facings. Takes nothing away in my opinion.

Just as I was unable to locate any flag information specifically for this regiment, I was also unable to locate the proper design for the flamme of the grenadier's cap. I borrowed the design from another regiment. The designs tended to be similar just with some minor uniqueness according to each regiment. The figures are 15mm Battle Honors Spanish figures. The two officers and flag bearers are AB, as the bag of figures I got a deal on from eBay didn't have any command.
