All,
Whilst exploring other sources for information on Portuguese regiments, this seems to be really a tough nut to crack and the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 will not have helped, I have obtained a copy of Dorrel's book on the campaign in Spain in 1710.
As Maciek wrote, this book is pretty well written and contains many orders of battle alongside other bits an pieces. Most is indeed tailored for the wargamer, and not so much for regimental aficionados like me. Though, the narrative on the 1710 campaign is well researched from the various sources available.
On the downside, the book is a bit expensive in my opinion. Also, the text does not have any notes or any hints on sources used. Though there is a short bibliography, I always like to see citations with the source of details presented, as in tables for example.
cheers,
Wienand
