La Bataille de Corunna-Espagnol is a two-player board wargame published by Clash of Arms in 1995. It simulates the Battle of Corunna, fought in January 1809 during the Peninsular War, when a British expeditionary force under Sir John Moore fought a Napoleonic French army commanded by Marshal Nicolas Soult to cover the evacuation of British troops from Spain by sea. The game uses the detailed operational-level La Bataille wargame system that Clash of Arms applied across its Napoleonic-era battle series, giving each player command of the historical order of battle down to individual brigades and requiring management of formation, morale and terrain across the hilly ground around the Galician port city.
