After the fall of Ciudad Rodrigo, Massena now moved against Rodrigo’s Portuguese twin, Almeida. The fortress was held by a strong garrison under a British commander, and screened by Craufurd’s Light Division. Ney was sent to drive Craufurd away, and very nearly caught the outnumbered Light Division with its back to the River Coa. Will Craufurd stand and fight, to prevent a crossing? Will Ney find a way across the river which is less well-defended?
