Campaign Game

24th April 2017 saw another campaign game.
This time I was asked to command the Spanish.

In this battle I wish I'd read the objectives properly. We were tasked with holding ALL buildings, however i assumed we had to hold the town and stop the French from crossing the river.

All the Spanish had to do to win the game was stay in the buildings, so we lost the game.

Battle was good, and the Spanish held up quite well.

Deployment -

The main Spanish deployment was around the town including across the river, with cavalry protecting the flanks.
The French also concentrated in the centre with some flanking forces looking for fords, which they found and poured across.

These flanking force overwhelmed the Spanish and along with the centre attacks the Spanish were defeated.
