EPIC06 Talavera (28 July 1809)

This is one scenario I think would benefit from having the Time Pressure Objective.
The French were pressed for time at Talavera.

One Spanish LI unit is in Rugged Hill hex (left spanish flank). In Set-Up order is seven Rugged Hill hexes too. How it should be?

special rule…

”Exception to Terrain Tile rules: Rugged Hill hexes of Sierra De Segurilla can be entered. Treat as hill terrain except: Infantry battle at –1 die up and hill to hill, and Cavalry battle up, down and hill to hill at –2 dice”

Thanks! I wasn't paying attention.

Allies win 15-11

A very funny battle with alternative for both sides during the battle.

I will highlight several situations:

- Very hard fight around Casa de Valefuertes (right flank) at the begining.

- French attempt to take Cerro De Medellin hill hexes and heroic spanish resistance in the city of talavera in the mid battle with decimated units in both armies.

- Attacks and counter attacks in Rugged Hill hexes of Sierra De Segurilla at the end of the battle.

Take care with spanish guerrilla tokens, frenchs...!
