Name

So what's up with Almansa v. Almanza? 85.8.12.78 (talk) 09:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

The name should be changed; but that's a minor detail. The article is appalling, it is afterall the decisive victory in Spain and should be much better. And where do these numbers come from? 12,000 allied prisoners? There are plucked out of the ether, that's where.Rebel Redcoat (talk) 15:43, 31 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

"It's an ill wind that blows no good"

This is a misquotation. The English proverb holds that "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good, " which has precisely the opposite meaning to that of the Spanish, wherein all are affected negatively. JF42 (talk) 14:58, 25 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Logistics

I can't find the supposed logistic difficulties of campaigning in Spain [as opposed to in Italy or Flanders] in the source and pages given (Child's The Nine Years' War and the British Army, pp. 32-33). Could someone pinpoint the source? Mmasalleras (talk) 21:11, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
