I'm aware of Leval's division at Talevera, but does anyone know of battles that Confederation troops were engaged in against British/Portugese forces please ?

A quick search shows the Battles of Barossa and Vitoria. Hope this is helpful :)

There's no CoR at Barossa. The French 24th are there and they might have been in white coats issued in 180-earlier! But otherwise it's just line, Grenadier reunis and a bttn of the 9th light (Neys fave regt).

In addition to Talavera CoR units were, as far as I know, at

Badajoz

Graf und Erbprinz Regt Hesse-Darmstadt - taken prisoner and lost their colours.

Vittoria

2nd Nassau Regt
4th Baden Regt
1st Bn Frankfurt Regt

Thanks all

Decided I should bite the bullet and get myself the Charles Oman books, then found the first 4 volumes free to read/download at "Project Gutenberg"

May be of use to someone else too
