Campaign Game

Going back to 2016 for the first of these.

21st December 2016, Anglo-Portuguese (Bob & myself) have pushed the French (Arthur) back over the last week campaign weeks from Corruna, through the mountains and have finally caught them crossing a river.

The French are out-numbered and their mission is to escape across the river, we need to stop them.

The Portuguese deployed right and British left. My plan was to engage to the front whilst sending a flank force to block the road. My large collection of artillery to the front.

My Plan -


Deployment -


The French advanced to stall us and it partially worked, I had to swing the flanking brigade to deal with the advance, but the French paid dearly for doing so.

French Advance -


The French suffers from the flanking fire -


And eventually fall back -


The British initially suffered from an aggressive enemy, but eventually pushed them back, whilst on the Portuguese side the French suffered heavy losses and inflicted a few also, but allied cavalry and infantry found a ford and were crossing at the end of the game. However, the road ans bridge were still in French hands and so they gained a win.


Because loser have a worse chance of regaining losses Portugal lost 3 units of Infantry, can't recall French losses, but they regained a lot of their losses as winners.
