Barrosa 5 March 1811 - "full battle" 30 turn variant scenario starting with the Spanish attack on Villatte and with the rest of the various forces in their initial positions around 9am. Since Soult had recently depleted Victor's French force besieging Cádiz to around 15,000 men in order to attack Badajoz, an Anglo-Spanish expedition under the incompetent la Peña set sail with the intention of attacking Victor in the rear. The English contingent of c.4,000 men was led by Sir Thomas Graham, who found it very difficult to take orders from la Peña and abandon the key Barrosa hill.
