WI: Banastre Tarleton Penninsula War

Shocking bad. He was not a commander of armies, and had no concept of strategy. And Spain is not light horse country.

He could have given useful service as liaison with the Spanish guerillas. But,as supreme commander, not a chance. His ambitions to command reflected his great egotism, not his ability.

WQith him in charge, Spain ends up quiet and Messena takes Lisbon in 1808
