084 Barrosa 5 March 1811 - WDS Bonaparte's Peninsular War

Barrosa 5 March 1811 - A short, 12 turn scenario focusing on the British counter-attack and with most of the Spanish fixed. 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. So, when the French seized this position, he decided to retake it, even if his Spanish allies failed to support him.
