Military History
Balagan Military History
I am fascinated by military history and in particular the history of Spain and Portugal. But with my connections to New Zealand and Israel I've also acquired an interest in the wars of those nations as well. I aspire to having a Timeline and order of battle for each war I'm interested in. You might also find lists of rulers, descriptions of terrain, biographies and such like.
My interest in military history is closely associated with my interest in Wargaming. So I've included material on how to wargame each of the wars I cover. In particular what figures are available in my preferred scale (15mm), options for wargaming rules, and possible scenarios and campaigns.
Luso-Spanish (Iberian)
My specialty is the Military History of Spain and Portugal. The bits
that seem to interest people the most are Carlist Wars,
Spanish Civil War and
WWII
New Zealand
A brief summary of the various wars involving New Zealand, with
additional details on the NZ Colonial (Maori) Wars (1845-72),
and WW2 (1939-45)
Arab-Israeli
The Arab-Israeli wars from 1948 to the present. Most of my
material is on 1948.
