Black Powder: Napoleonic Portuguese Cavalry Command

The Portuguese military of the Napoleonic Wars was an interesting one. A firm ally of Britain thanks to longstanding treaties, and bitter opponents of the invading French, the Portuguese army was relatively small, but benefited hugely from British training and equipment beginning in 1809, becoming a powerful force in its own right. Twelve cavalry regiments existed, and would serve well during the Peninsular War, helping to drive out the hated French! Cavalry is a vital part of any Black Powder force, used to screen your advance, repulse enemy horsemen, and finally to charge home to glorious victory. When led well, it can be absolutely devastating, and these officers are just the men to provide that leadership!
