Napoleonic War - Siege of Saragosse
Dated: July 31, 2006.
Dear Sir:
I'm an enthusiastic collector of small plastic figures. At the beginning was the good old Airfix´s, Montaplex, Esci, Atlantic, etc. Today, I buy Hät´s, Italeri, Imex, Zvedza, Revell, etc., and others esoteric workshops...... I love all of them, but the great variety of armies made by Hät Industries was stupefacient. Congratulations. History is my other great passion: Dark Age, Napoleonic Era and the Spanish Wars.
I send you some pictures of the war action called "The first Siege of Saragosse". The heroine was Agustina Zaragoza y Domenech, a young woman 22 years old, married with a soldier of the garrison siege city. At the "climax action", she formally was one of the fighters' civilian suppliers. Upon died or wounded the artillery crew. Agustina shoot the canon. The legend tells like French troops retreat which several casualties to his siege works around Saragosse and that fact restablished spanish defenders moral. Look at the pictures and watch the mixture of figures of various trades. Some of them are transformations. The Spanish artillery crew are of the Hät Box of 1805 British Marines and sailors and also are of the Hät Austrian artillery. Spanish staff officer are of the Hät Box, 1806 Prussians musketeers.
See you. Cheers.
