What if the British failed to take Badajoz, for the third time, and deemed it impossible to capture?
Would it have any impact on Wellington's ability to campaign further into Spain, if this fortress held?
Could the Spanish civilians have been spurred to help the French with hes siege by the British's poor behavior?
