MM13 Epic Albuera - 16 May 1811

2 vs 1. Again a huge defeat for the Allied side, 18-9 (4 Albuera, 2 Scout, 1 left flanck, Leader, HC) . French kills 2 leaders+2 out of battle, Portuguese kills 1 leader.
Time pressure 2 PV (Scout card). Allies cards: 2x Charge if Charged, 1 x Short Supply17, Force the March.
French cards: 2 Charge of Cavalry, Counterattack Force the March, 2x Charge of Bayonet.

Only the loss of just one French heavy cavalry unit, and the Spanish right flank was crushed.
T17 End

Do the Portuguese around Hamilton ever feature in the battle?  I feel that one aspect to this battle I hear nothing about is the British left flank activity.

The alternative is to reduce the amount of French cavalry.
Nafzinger gives the French OB as Latour-Moubourg'e Cavalry Corps;
Brigade of Hussars (Light cavalry) about 750 troopers
Brigade of Dragoons (Heavy Cavalry) about 1000 troopers
Brigade of Dragoons (HC) about 830 troopers
Brigade of Polish Lancers (560 troopers), and French & Spanish Chasseurs (collectively 580 troopers), plus a Horse artillery battery

on the whole that is a lot of cavalry, but it would be possible to take away a French HC and French LC
whether that balances the scenario is debateable, and really it is not ideal, since the scenario plays out pretty historically. If there was to be a balance, it should be in the Victory conditions.
 

Hello, how are you? .
The problem with this scenario is the disproportion of forces that has been achieved. I'm only going to focus on the cavalry units. The French Army presented a total of 4,000 in battle, and the Allied army 3,900,both figures are rounded. This proportion of blocks in the game is completely unbalanced toward the French side, with a ratio of 32 to 21 blocks, with a 34% increase toward the French side and the historical deployment.
Knowing that it is a game, historical reality must be reflected as much as possible to adjust to the options that both armies had.
Thaks.

Without wishing to make a case either way for this scenario (I have no axe to grind about that), I just mention that blocks represent more than the raw number of troops.

Hey guys.
Once I've reviewed the force deployments, I'm going to test the scenario with the new distribution.
Here's the new troop distribution I'm going to test it with.
Block distribution by army.
French Army.
Reduced:
1 Heavy Cavalry unit. 4 blocks
1 Light Cavalry unit. 4 blocks
1 Light Cavalry unit reduced to 3 blocks
The remaining infantry and artillery forces remain the same.
Spanish Army.
Reduced:
1 infantry unit from the Ballesteros Division. 4 blocks
1 infantry unit from the Lardizaval Division. 4 blocks
English Army.
Increased:
1 infantry unit in the Cole Division. 4 blocks
Portuguese Army.
Reduced:
1 infantry unit in the Cole Division. 4 blocks
I'll tell you how the exam went and thank Mark for his work.
