Fuentes de Onoro 5 May 1811 - Variant scenario using the alternative pdt and gun sections. Having failed to take Fuentes by direct assault on 3rd May, Massena spent the following day scouting the British line and endeavouring to find a weak spot. Then, determining that the British right flank south of Fuentes could be turned, Massena decided that the main French thrust should be launched against Poco Velho and Nava de Aver, whilst additional diversionary attacks along the line would hold the enemy in place.

Similar to the full game, but parameters are such that movement is more restricted but firepower seems pretty potent. The gun sections were ineffective. The British cavalry has to retreat over streams, thus disordering them and with slower movement are quickly caught.
