Formations
The type and number of Units in historically plausible Spanish Formations in the Mid War. Spanish Formations are highly variable, more so than nearly any other faction. As with other Force Composition Guides, the Units indicated here are simply the base of each Formation type and should be customized by the players according to the scenario.
