120 Action at Grijo 11 May 1809 - Gun Section Variant - WDS Bonaparte's Peninsular War

Action at Grijo 11 May 1809 - Variant scenario using the alternative pdt and gun sections. Soult had been unable to make contact with either Lapisse or Ney and thus had no prospect of securing any reinforcements for an advance on Lisbon. Meanwhile, a British army under Wellesley advancing up from Lisbon forced Franceschi's cavalry and Mermet's infantry to fight a rearguard action at Grijo before retreating back to rejoin Soult's main army at Oporto. Note: Unless they can inflict significantly heavier losses on the French, it will be essential for the Allies to exit troops to achieve a victory, since the French also have exit hexes.
