La Bataille d'Albuera: Espagnol

Modern Conquest and War Games

La Bataille d'Albuera: Espagnol is a two player Napoleonic board wargame published by Clash of Arms in 1987, designed by Monte Mattson, Dennis A. Spors, and Ed Wimble, that simulates the Battle of Albuera during the Peninsular War. It recreates the 1811 clash in which French Marshal Soult's twenty four thousand strong force attempted to break an Anglo-Portuguese siege of Badajoz, encountering reinforced Allied troops numbering thirty five thousand near the village of Albuera. The game uses a thirty four by twenty two inch hex grid map at a scale of one hundred metres per hex, with more than four hundred double sided counters.
