I keep getting called to the madness which is a Spanish Napoleonic army, but have resisted the urges well so far. :)
However, has anyone tried the Spanish in Lasalle and do they work (at some reasonable level)?
Oh and yes, I know they are by far the weakest army builder force (likely including the Ottomans) but by hiding behind entrenchments and playing defensively can the survive against the Austrian/French and Russian power houses forces, or are they a great painting project but a near lost cause on the table?
P.S. It seems the home advantage rule for fighting on the short edges is pretty stupid to do unless an opponent has no reserve brigades, or the terrain favors it for defense greatly. Allowing the powerful reserves (especially if Cavalry) on at the start of the game seems an issue but I understand the problems of getting them to be effective at all otherwise.
