A 'Spanish Ulcer' Special - Peninsular Napoleonics

 At the club, we had two games set in the Peninsular War. 

In the first game, we had a recreation of the battle of Medina de Rioseco, 1808. The French attacked with gusto but found it difficult to dislodge the Spaniards from the heights on the way to the town. Eventually the Spanish were dislodged, but not before causing serious damage to a French Brigade and neutering their cavalry arm. 

The second game was a generic match between the French and an Anglo-Portuguese force. the outcome of this game was undecided by the end of the evening.
