The descent on the river Plate 1808

The unsuccessful campaign in South America by the British inspired by my favorite author
This was my other project which fell by the wayside for a few reasons
1. I traded most of my Napoleonic French to a fellow collector and
2. I changed jobs and had little time off
However 2020 is looking good so far and I will be doing this one.

My Spanish troops are from those of Spanish gurriellas which I have plus some French painted up as Spanish a la 1780s-90s.
and just for colour, I may add in some native auxilliaries.

My British force will be the same as that for my South African adventure, as in reality, they came from the same source.

Georgia 1740s actions between the British and Spanish

 Osprey Publishing books on Colonial American troops in the Southern colonies against the Spanish
The Spanish troops in question will look slightly French, but will have Plains Indians from Airfix and Revell kits as their allies. One Regiment I have painted as Bourgoaine which were a French Regiment at Louisbourg but whose colours are Spanish
My go to French Canadian militia without the snowshoes will act as sailors off of ships or militia with Spanish guerrillas  to fill out.

The Anglo-American troops are made up of some Colonial units I have painted, and some of my Jacobites which can fall in, as many Highlanders migrated to the Southern Colonies.

The main Spanish line holds it ground while a Don officer regally holds his ground

The Light Infantry battalion charge the artillery in flank, while more hit the front of the Spanish line. Even with the Havana Dragoons closing in, it was too much for the raw Spanish militia.
