Dunque, ecco qua le prime due unità spagnole del periodo. Si tratta in realtà di spagnoli del regno di Napoli, che indossano elmi assai particolari.
La formazione è quella nota come Colunella, che comprendeva picchieri, archibugieri e fanti armati di spada e scudo, in proporzione 2:1:2 (o, in qualche caso solo da picchieri). Trovate indicazioni dettagliate a questo link, in spagnolo.

| Una Colunela grande |
Ho realizzato due tipi di Colunella, uno più grande con 4 basi di picchieri e 2 ciascuna di archibugieri e spadaccini, ed una più piccola con 2 basi per ciascun tipo.
 |
| Una Colunela piccola |
Questo tipo di imbasettamento consente comunque di raggruppare le basi per tipo per formare unità uniformi (a seconda del regolamento).

| Le basi comando |
I pezzi sono della Assault group, con qualche "spadaccino" della Wargame Foundry.

| Moschettieri |

| Sword & Bucklers |
So, here are the first two Spanish units for the period . These are actually from the Spanish kingdom of Naples and the men wear very particular helmets .
The formation is known as Colunella , which included pikemen , musketeers and infantry armed with sword and shield, in proportion 2 : 1 : 2 (or , in some cases only by pikemen ) . You can find further information at this link , in Spanish.
I made two types of Colunella, one larger with 4 bases of pikemen and 2 each of musketeers and swordsmen, and a smaller one with 2 bases for each type .
This basing still allows you to group the bases by type to form uniform units (for the different rule sets) .
The miniatures are from the Assault group, with some " swordsman " from Wargame Foundry .
