200 years ago: The battle of La Albuera

The battle of La Albuera was the bloodiest battle of the Peninsular War. An Allied force commanded by Beresford and containing 39,000 British, Spanish and Portuguese with 48 guns, faced a French force of 24,000 men and 48 guns commanded by the Marshall Soult.
This battle is part of the British epic (see for example Die hard) and only in recent years, the Spanish participation has started to receive the due acknowledgements. Both sides claimed the victory, although actually the battle was an Allied tactic victory.

The battle is profusely covered in internet and it is very interesting to make a comparison of the French, Spanish and British versions of the battle, as shown in the respective Wikipedia pages:
French version: Bataille d'Albuera
Spanish version: Batalla de La Albuera
British version: Battle of Albuera

A refight of La Albuera using Napoleon's Battles can be seen at my web site: La Albuera (May 16, 1811).

The game resulted in a Substantial Allied Victory and was very different to the real battle. The Spanish Guard and Foreign infantry units fought very well and were the key to the French rout. On the contrary, the Anglo-Portuguese infantry units behaved very badly and only the sacrifice of the Spanish cavalry avoided the collapse of the Allied flank. The British cavalry (both Light and Heavy) fought following their historical role and were finally dispersed. No square was broken and the Lancers of the Vistula were routed by the British Heavy Dragoons.
It is a pity that history can not be so easily re-written!

Barrosa/Chiclana 1811: final remarks

Lasalle has provided again a funny game with many alternatives, but with a final similar to the real world: the rout of the French at the hands of the Allied forces. The main difference, as it was pointed out in the previous post, was the determinant role played by the Spanish forces. The aggressive behaviour of the Spanish commander, the brigadier Cruz Murgeon, resulted in the outflanking of the Ruffin's left and ended with the breaking of two French battalions.
The British and French fought according the book, i.e. the British deployed in line side to side and the French in a line of battalion columns. The fire fights were frequent and two French units were broken by firing alone, without the need of a charge home.
The home-rule devised for the Barnard Flankers worked well, giving the Flankers a flexible although non-orthodox defensive performance.
(1) The extended front of the unit (50% higher than the official) allowed it to choose more easily its firing target.
(2) Having only four bases in that formation, the unit was not a machine-gun.
(3) With a SK3 level, the Flankers effectively screened the deployment of the rest of the brigade.
(4) Being irregular, it interpenetrated without penalization the regular British battalions ando so, it retired easily from the front line, when the French battalions approached at charge distance.
All in all, the Flankers behaved almost like the historical unit!
The Spanish reinforcements arrived late so they do not participated in the fight. The 'Wavering Lapeña' home-rule resulted in the delay of Begines until the last movements of the battle that, incidentally, lasted for 20 movements.
The AAR and pictures have been uploaded to the main web-site

The next install will be likely another obscure Spanish-French Peninsular affaire: the combat of Castillejos (january 25, 1811) fought between Ballesteros and Gazan in Villanueva de los Castillejos (Badajoz, Extremadura).. Historically, the battle resulted in the repulse of the Spanish force, but maybe in the table game the final result will be another!

Barrosa/Chiclana is finished!

The battle of Chiclana/Barrosa has finished with a French defeat like in the real world.

A Spanish combined arms attack made by the Ciudad Real Militia Regiment and the Granaderos a Caballo has broken one of the two squares formed by the French converged Grenadier battalions over the ridge summit.

The Ruffin's division is virtually wiped out, with only two battalions left, and the Spanish/British forces are now menacing the French retreat.

While the Spanish reinforcements, the Begines's brigade, are approaching fast to participate in the pursuit.
The battle has finished. The Spanish forces, at last, have made their work!

Barrosa/Chiclana (IV). The Spaniards have arrived!

The fight continues in Barrosa/Chiclana with the active presence of the Spanish forces.

In the French right flank, Leval is maintaining the line against the Wheatley's attack, winning some local victories. Above, you can see the French 3e battalion of Converged Elites rejecting the assault of the British 1/28th Foot. However, all the French artillery has been removed by Leval from the first line of fire.

In the other side of the battlefield, the Cruz Murgeon's Spanish brigade has outflanked the Ruffin's line infantry, and the Guardias Walonas have broken the 1/24me de Ligne and can menace the French rear. The Ruffin's line artillery has left the hill by fear to be taken by the Allied cavalry.

Meanwhile on the summit of the Oar's Head hill, the squares of the French Converged Grenadiers have rejected the attack of the Spanish Granaderos a Caballo, that are forced to fall back downhill through their infantry. 16c
It seems like the Spanish forces will have a determinant role in this re-fight!

Barrosa/Chiclana (III)

Barrosa/Chiclana is diverging now from the actual battle.

The Wheatley's brigade is attacking Leval. However, the lack of space for deployment is avoiding that the British will use all their firing capacity, although the Royal Foot Artillery is carrying out that role with great effect.

In the center of the battlefield, under the watching eyes of the French converged Grenadiers, the Ruffin's infantry has routed the Browne's Flankers, after these had succesfully covered the deployment of the brigade of British Guards,

Meanwhile, the outflanking French detachment has been wiped out. The KGL Hussars have finished the 2/9me. Legere battalion in a previous move and now, with the help of the Spanish Granaderos a Caballo, the French 1me. Dragons has been also broken.
The French left flank is in danger!

Barrosa/Chiclana (II)

The battle continues like in the real life.

Wheatley's brigade has deployed into line under the protection of the Barnard's Flankers, deployed in its extended order unusual (in Lasalle terms, at least) formation. Leval is trying to form a line by turning at right.

In the British right flank, Ruffin's first line (his three line battalions) are descending from hill to attack the weak Dilkes's first line, the Browne's Flankers, that are covering the deployment of the British Guards. The French Converged Grenadier battalions and the artillery remain in the top of the hill.

Meanwhile, the Spanish Walloon Guards are covering the British right flank and with the help of the JGL/Spanish cavalry are menacing to break the French line between Ruffin and the French outflanking detachment.
The real fight is about to start!

Barrosa/Chiclana has started!

The first movements of the battle of Barrosa/Chiclana have followed the actual battle. Below there are two pictures showing the situation in the two flanks after turn No. 3.

In the British left, the Barnard Flankers have deployed in their 'un-orthodox' (in Lasalle terms) formation, while covering the deployment of the artillery and the rest of the Wheatley's brigade which has left the pinewood. The Leval's brigade is still in march column formation.

In the other flank, the Brown Flankers have started its advance towards the hill where the Ruffin's brigade has deployed. The Guards of the Dilkey's brigade are traversing the ravine, so they are still in march column formation. Meanwhile the attached Spanish and the German/Spanish cavaly is facing the outflanking French force.

Terrain and optional rules for Barrosa/Chiclana

There are many maps, English, French or Spanish, for the area were the battle of Chiclana/Barrosa was fought. The best maps I have found are the one included in Fortescue's 'A History of the British Army' (1917) available through Napoleon-Series, and the map of the Arteche's map included in the CD of the Cartografía de la Guerra de la Independencia, a fragment from which is presented below.

The next decision was the area to be depicted in the table. As I want to play the 'English battle' as apposed to the 'Spanish battle' fought near the Almansa creek (towards Cádiz), the chosen area was the surrounding Barrosa Hill (or Cerro de la Cabeza del Puerco), so the table will present the following aspect:
Optional rules
Added to add spice to the game and for fine-tuning the Lasalle rule book to the specific Scenario.

The wavering Lapeña (Scenario rule)
According to Oman, Lapeña did not support the British during the battle and only the Cruz Murgeon’s brigade, entrusted to Graham, fought along his allied. However, according other accounts (Fortescue, Arteche) the Begines’s brigade did participate in the fight against the Dermoncourt’s outflanking force, so that brigade is included as Reinforcements.
To simulate the Lapeña’s wavering efforts, the Reinforcement arrival test (p. 91) is carried out with an additional -1 modifier. The Reinforcements will arrive deployed at the C3 end road.

The irregular flankers (Scenario rule)
In the actual battle, part of the Barnard's flankers (4 coys. of 3/95th Rifles) and 2 coys. from the 20th Portuguese fought in skirmish order to cover the deployment of the Wheatley’s brigade, whereas the remaining Barnard elements (2 coys. of the 47th Foot) acted as supporters for the British artillery. To simulate this behaviour:
(a) All the light elements of the Wheatley brigade (Barnard's Flankers and the 2 coys. of the 20th Portuguese) have been amalgamated into a single large unit, made Irregular as per the 'Creating Irregular Units' Optional Rule (p 74), and whose statistics are V/I/SK3 (+)
(b) This unit will use the 'Half Battalion Deployed' Optional Rule (p 74) slightly modified: the unit may break off four (instead two) bases as SK bases, to enhance skirmishers for other friendly regular infantry, while retaining two (instead four) bases to function as a small unit.
(c) The four skirmish bases will be used as Irregulars fighting in line when necessary. However, a gap of until 1/2 BW will be allowed between adjacent bases to increase the front of the unit.
(d) The SK power of the Wheatley's brigade will be not marked with SK bases.

The last Optional rule is a sort of Lasalle heresy, because the ruleset does not allow for skirmishing activity. I hope that it will work!

P.S. As the bicentenary approaches, there is a growing interest in Barrosa/Chiclana. The English magazine Miniature Wargaming has started a series on the battle, to be published in several issues from 334 onwards.

The OOB for Barrosa/Chiclana (II)

I have followed Lasalle to the letter for the capacities of the units fighting in Barrosa/Chiclana, using the 'Peninsula' lists for all the contenders. My final proposal (until new amedments!) after taking into account all the considerations given in the previous post is:

Britsh Army (Moral 34; Break point 11)
13 Battalions/2 Regiments/3 Batteries
C-i-C Graham (-/*)

1st Brigade Dilkes (-1/¶)
2/1st Guards V/E/SK2/Gd
Combined Guards V/E/SK2/Gd
2/95th (2coys.) 2 SK bases
Browne Flankers R/E/SK2

Spanish Cruz Murgeon (-/-)
4/Guardias Walonas R/E/SK1
Ciudad Real S/A/SK1
Bateria (2 light guns) Foot/1 cannon/Light

2nd Brigade Wheatley (+1/*)
1/28th R/E/SK2
2/67th R/E/SK2
2/87th R/E/SK2
Barnard Flankers V/I/SK3 (+)

Battery 1 Foot/2 cannons/Medium
Battery 2 Foot/3 cannons/Medium

Cavalry Whittingham (+1/*)
Hussars KGL (2 sq) R/E/Pu
Granaderos a Caballo (3 sq) S/A

Spanish Reinforcements
Columna Begines (-1/-)
Cantabria Line Reg. U/A/SK1
Siguenza Militia S/A/SK1
Valencia Light Reg. U/A/SK2
Reina Line Reg. U/A/SK1

Note to British OOB. The actual cavalry units were weaker than the proposed in this OOB. The Cruz Murgeon's light guns have been considered as one battery.
French Army (Moral 28; Break point 9)
12 Battalions/1 Regiment/2 Batteries
C-i-C Victor (-/-)

1st Division Ruffin (-/¶)
1st Brigade Barrois (-1/-)
1/24th Line Reg R/E/SK2
2/24th Line Reg R/A/SK1
2nd Brigade Chaudron (-/-)
1/Grenadiers V/E/SK2
2/Grenadiers V/E/SK2
1/96th Line Reg R/A/SK1
2/6th Foot Artillery Foot/3 cannons/ Medium/ 1 How

2nd Division Leval (+1/-)
1st Brigade Meunier (+1/*)
1/54th Line Reg R/E/SK2
2/54th Line Reg R/A/SK1
3/Elite (Gren+Volt) V/E/SK2
2nd Brigade Laplane (-/-)
1/8th Line Reg R/E/SK2
2/8th Line Reg R/A/SK1
1/45th Line Reg R/A/SK1
2/8th Foot Artillery Foot/2 cannons/Medium

Dragoons Dermoncourt (+1/-)
1st Dragoon Reg R/E/Sh/Pu
2/9th Leg Reg R/E/SK2

In this OOB the Allied forces are stronger than the French ones, due to the inclusion of the Spanish reinforcements and also because in Lasalle the unit strengths are variable. In the actual battle and in the areas of the 'British' battle, the British and French forces were similar in numbers.
The next thing will be the terrain

Barrosa/Chiclana for Lasalle

The refighting of the Gévora has been a very rewarding issue, so I have decided to try another Peninsular battle to celebrate the bicenntenial, the battle of Chiclana, also knwon as Barrosa (Barrossa/Barossa) in the English-speaking world, that taken place the 5 March 1811.
Cádiz had been invested by the French in January 1810 by a 25,000-strong French army commanded by Victor, but in March of 1811 a reduction in the besieging army (caused by the march of almost a third of Victor's troops accompanying Soult in his assault on Badajoz) gave its garrison of Anglo-Spanish troops an opportunity to lift the siege. Their plan was to ship an expeditionary force 100 km south along the coast from Cádiz so as to launch an attack against Victor from inland.
The force comprised 4,000 men British under Graham, 8,000 men of two Spanish divisions led by Lardizabal and the Prince of Anglona, four squadrons of cavalry under Col. Samuel Ford Whittingham - an English officer serving with the Spanish army - 1,000 infantry from Gibraltar and 1,600 Spaniards from an irregular force led by Beguines. The overall command was given to Lapeña, the senior officer at Cádiz.
After several chaotic night marches, Lapeña diverted from his original intention deciding instead to march by the coast road towards Cádiz. Victor prepared a trap in the plain between the town of Chiclana and Barrosa Hill (known now as the Loma de Sancti-Petri). Using one division under Villatte to block the road into Cádiz, Victor kept two divisions under Leval and Ruffin out-of-sight in readiness to make a surprise flank attack that fell on the single Anglo-Portuguese rearguard division under the command of Sir Thomas Graham.
Following a fierce battle on two fronts, the British succeeded in routing the attacking French forces. Although some Spanish units also participated in the fight, Lapeña does not supported his ally and thus prevented a smashing French defeat.
The French were able to regroup and reoccupy their siege lines so the Graham's tactical victory proved to have little strategic effect and the siege remained until finally being lifted on 24 August 1812.

Gévora: the AAR

The AAR and the pictures of the battle of Gévora (Spain, 1813) have been uploaded to the main web-site
Enjoy it!

Gévora for Lasalle. Some considerations

The battle of Gévora was a small affaire of the Peninsular War, involving 7,000French and 12,000 Spanish/Portuguese troops, so it is adequate for a tactical ruleset like Lasalle, being out of scope for grand-tactical rulesets like Napoleon's Battles.
The actual OOB's, as found in the bibliography, were easily translated in terms of Lasalle units, that reflect the differences between the two contender armies at the time of the conflict. All French units, taken directly from the Peninsula list, are Reliable or Valiant, whereas Spanish units have a large percentage of Unpredictable or Shaky units: 60% for the infantry and 100% for the cavalry (See this post).
With these abysmal differences, the final result of the game was very similar to the real one: a Decisive French Victory.
The Spanish losses were: Four broken infantry units (Unión / Batallón del General / Inmemorial del Rey/ León), two broken cavalry units (Algarve and Imperiales de Toledo) and two cavalry units that fled from the battlefield ( Carabineros and Reina). On the French side, only a batallion, 2/88me Ligne, was lost
Evidently, the reason behind the Spanish rout also included a faulty Spanish deployment: a long line of motionless infantry units deployed in the open on a long ridgeline with the cavalry behind the heights. However the main cause of the French success, both in the real world and on the tabletop, was the double encirclement attack used by Mortier. Like in the real world, on the tabletop the battles are half-losen or half-won before the actual fight start.
In addition, the house-rule for Spanish cavalry, penalizing the attempts to advance towards the French with a mandatory Discipline test and a -1 additional modifier, and helping the 'Fall Back' reaction with a +1 modifier, simulated very well the poor performance of the Spanish cavalry during the battle.

The next installment will be also another Peninsular War issue: the battle of Chiclana, best known as Barrosa for the English-speaking people.

Watch this space!

Gévora: the outcome

The battle of Gévora is near the end. One after another, like a house of cards, the Spanish batallions are being broken in the centre. See the Voluntarios de Navarra, taken in flank by the 2/134me de Ligne.

Meanwhile, the 10me de Ligne has taken a Spanish battery by means of a frontal assault.

The French dragoons have finished the encirclement of the Spanish army after breaking, or forcing to fall back, all the Spanish cavalry regiments.

Sálvese el que pueda!

Gévora: the debacle

The newly arrived French Dragoons are causing havoc amongst the Spanish cavalry located in the rearguard. The Reina Regiment has fallen back in front of the French dragoons, what are now menacing the flank of the Carabineros and the Algarve regiments.

The 100me de Ligne has broken through the Spanish battalions of the right flank. The Inmemorial and León infantry regiments have been broken, and the French battalions are now advancing against the Spanish rearguard.

At last Mortier has unleashed the Philippon's Brigade. The French battalions have climbed up the slope of the ridge, forcing the Spanish artillery to limber up and retire down the hill, whereas the Spanish battalions have deployed in line.

To be continued!

Gévora is running! (II)

The Spanish cavalry at last wakes up from its lethargy and the Regiment Imperiales de Toledo advances against the 10me d'Hussards, triggering a countercharge from the 21me de Chasseurs à Cheval. The combined French cavalry units are too much for the Spanish regiment that breaks!

The French reinforcements, the Bouvier des Eclats's Dragoon brigade (plus the 2me d'Hussards) arrive after its detour on the Spanish left flank. They have suffered some delays in route and the battle is almost decided in that sector.

The 100me de Ligne routs and breaks the most senior Spanish infantry regiment, Inmemorial del Rey (King's Immemorial Regiment) deployed in the extreme right of the Spanish line.

Meanwhile, Mortier has decided that the battle is ripe and has launched the bulk of his infantry, the Philippon's brigade, against sthe Spanish centre.

The time for decision is arrived!

The French onslaught

Spanish units are standing against the French cavalry in the left flank. The 21me Chasseurs a Cheval has been rejected by the sqaure of the Spanish Regimento del Príncipe (Prince's Regiment) . The sabres of the French soldiers have been useless against the solid bayonet lines.

On the plateau, the Spanish artillerymen have endured a fierce flank attack of the 27me Chasseurs a Cheval, that have been unable to break their resitence and have been forced to retiring in disorder.

In the Spanish right flank, near the Guadiana River, the 100me de Ligne has finished its detour and its battalions have turned to right deploying to attack the Spaniards onto the hill. The Regimiento Inmemorial del Rey is the French target while the Regiment de Sevilla is running to help their comrades.

The situation is almost mature for the main French attack.

Gévora is running!

The battle of Gévora is running in an almost historical way. The 27me Chasseurs a Cheval from the Briche's French Light Cavalry Brigade has attacked the Spanish left flank, breaking the 2/Tiradores de Castilla caught in column formation. The rest of the Spanish battalions in the left flank has changed to square formation, and the French cavalry is wandering around searching a sign of weakness to attack.

Meanwhile, the detached 100me de Ligne is walking around the Spanish right flank in an attempt to outflank the long Spanish line.

The bulk of the French infantry, the Philippon's Brigade, has deployed in the center waiting for the development of the situation in the flanks, whereas the artillery of both sides is firing at canister range with small success.

Watch this space

The deployment at Gévora

The battle of Gévora is ready and both sides have finished their deployment.
Mendizábal, the Sapnish C-i-C has not entrenched his army and has occupied the ridge line with all the infantry, maintaining his unreliable cavalry in the second line near the encampments.

Meanwhile, Mortier is trying to fix the Spanish center with the Philippon's brigade, while sending the 100me de Ligne and all the cavalry to turn the Spanish flanks.

Alea iacta est!

Terrain and optional rules for Gévora

The terrain
The battle of Gévora is well documented so the drawing with Powerpoint was a easy task: a long ridge with the Guadiana River in a flank, leading to the following diagram:

To make the long ridge line I have used cork tiles cut acordingly, combined with my old sculpted tiles and some old hills made from expanded polyestyrene. A picture is worth a thousand words (and my english is very poor!) so look at the actual appearance of the battlefield:

Scenario rules
As I play solo, some ad-hoc rules have been designed in order to simulate some of the characteristics of the actual battle, as well as to add some spice to the play. These rules are (until now):

The morning fog
The Spaniards were surprised when the morning fog lifted and the French were seen very near their front line, so the Lasalle Home Field advantage is not used in this Scenario.

Entrenchments and the Wellington’s advice
Mendizábal did not follow the Wellington’s advice so the Spanish Army fought in open field without any entrenchment. Before the game, throw 1D10. On a 1 result, Mendizábal is allowed to entrench his army with ‘hasty entrenchments’ (p. 75 of the Rules book).

Viva España!
Spanish units add +1 to their Unpredictable rolls if the roll is taken while the unit is entrenched

They’ll be back
If a game ends in a draw, it is considered a Spanish marginal victory.

The wavering Allied cavalry
Spanish/Portuguese cavalry units do not fought well at Gevora. All Allied cavalry units must to pass a compulsory Discipline test to move towards the enemy, using the ‘Vigor of Superior’ and ‘Out of Command’ modifiers as applicable, as well as an additional -1 modifier. When testing to Fall Back from a combat, they get a +1 additional modifier in the required Discipline test (they were wishing to run away!)

Edited (06/01/2011) As Boutton (Spanish Cavalry sub-commander is -1 in Vigor, Spanish cavalry needs a 6 to advance againts the enemy!

The tent camps (Edited 07/01/2011)
~~Only infantry~~ All units can enter in a tent camp. They are always in limbered/march column formation. ~~, i.e. they can not deploy.~~

The flanking Dragoons (Entry point of the reinforcements)
The French reinforcements may enter at B1/C1/D1/D2 (5% / 45% / 45%/ 5%)

Now I must go to bed. The Three Wise Men are coming!

The OOB for Gévora

This is the OOB of the battle of Gévora (Gebora, Gebore, Xevora) for Lasalle. The sources are Oman, Sañdo and Thompson. Whereas the French units are easy to trace because they are cited in all the references, there is controversy and confusion about the Spanish ones. Another difficulty, this time on the wargaming side, is that all Spanish units were understrength, so some 'amalgamation' must be carried out in order to arrive to a playable Lasalle OOB.
The French units were taken from the Lasalle 'Peninsula' list so the units are all Reliable or Valiant. To give a chance to the Spanish to stand againts the onslaught, a 40% (6 units) received the 'Veteran infantry' status being 'Reliable', whereas the rest are Unpredictable (8) or Shaky (1). The Spanish cavalry is Shaky (3) or Unpredictable (2) whereas all the Portuguese cavalry (3) are also Shaky.

My final proposal is
