Spanish Assault on Oran

Its been a very long time since my last posting, as I'm had serious problems with my computer. Unfortunately, that is where the majority of photos were stored. Now the problem has finally been settled, I'm posting one of my groups colonial conflicts involving the Portuguese and Spanish (allies in our campaign) and their combined attack on the Arabic city of Oran. The Pashaw there had resisted all attempts to defuse the violence taking place between the two sides and even the appearance of an official delegation from the Ottoman Empire has failed. The assault begins with a group of Arabs in the employ of the Spanish making an attempt on a gate just before dawn:
The pro-Spanish Arabs creeping up on the gate guards
Two guards at the gate are dispatched! Unfortunately a cry goes out
Support for the assault takes position on a nearby rooftop
But before the Pashaw's men can react and close the gate, the Spanish begin to pour in 
After driving off supporting troops, the Spanish have their entry into Oran!
Never imagined it would go so well for the Spanish. At a future date, the story of the combined Spanish/Portuguese fight for Oran will be presented
