Heirs to a long and proud martial tradition, Spain would initially be France’s ally in the early Napoleonic Wars before being occupied by the French in 1808, with Joseph Bonaparte installed as a puppet king. With the majority of Spaniards rejecting French rule, and fighting bitterly against it, the Spanish army would see significant service alongside their British allies. A key part of this army was the artillery. Light howitzers would see service with the ‘horse’ artillery, capable of being rapidly moved to where they were most needed, before setting up to send shells arcing over the heads of friendly troops to land amidst the enemy, with lethal effect.

A dangerous weapon, capable of going wherever you need, this howitzer is ready to support your Spanish forces!

This pack contains one howitzer with four crew, cast in metal.
