Determined to drive out the last remanents of Napoleons Expedition in egypt at Alexandria, British forces attempt a landing at Aboukir bay. A small French force holds the beach head, their artillery however may prove to be the British downfall as the landing parties make their way ponderously inland...

Stage 2 | Alexandria, first offensive
Classes - Lines, Lights, Cavalry
Flag-Spawning round, Admin Controlled to start, then reduce enemy tickets to 0 like usual.
Having successfully landed, the British press on towards Alexandria. The French however sieze the initative and commence their own attack in one final pitched battle, the offensive hitting home in the early hours of 21st March. A confused fight ensues in the darkness as the French offensive primarily engages the british center in force, attempting to drive a wedge here and sever the British line in two. The British piquets are pushed unexpectedly at 3am as the French offensive begins...

Normal Flag-Spawning round - reduce enemy tickets to 0.
The inital french attack in the centre is met with some early success in the darkness, with one french division passing straight through the British line towards the old roman ruins to the rear; the 42nd highland regiment stands alone to defend the ruins and prevent the French from rolling up the British line entirely...

Stage 4 | Imperial Guard Counterattack
Classes - Line, Cavalry
Objective based Flag-Spawning Battle round - UK form line at spawn and hold their position, teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0. High flag capture cost so capturing these should be a French priority.
With the battle in the ruins to the rear still raging, the british right flank finds itself momentarily cut-off from the rest of the british line and threatended from both front and rear; the 28th Foot, strung out in a two rank-deep line, famously give the order for the front rank to stay as they are and the rear to about face! The regiment fights back-to-back for its very survivial as the French relentlessly engage their position...

Still space for our Scenario tomorrow on 8th Feb!





Next up - Retreat to Coruna 1808
08/02/2023
Teams & Scenario details Updated!


Sir John Moore assumed command of the British Army in October 1808 and led it across Portugal and Spain, to link up with his Spanish allies to commence a campaign against his better wishes. At much the same time Napoleon arrived in the Peninsula at the head of 125,000 battle hardened veterans. Having restored his brother back on the Spanish throne, Napoleon turns his attention to remove Moore’s army. With his lines of communication compromised, Moore is forced to retreat in the dead of winter over the inhospitable Galician mountains, his army fighting tenacious rear-guard actions to facilitate their escape to Coruna...

Event Stages:


Stage 1 | Cavalry Skirmish at Benavente
Classes - Cavalry
Normal Battle, Admin Controlled to start.
Early on in the Campaign it becomes apparent that retreat for the British Army is inevitable, with the huge amount of forces arrayed against them. Before resigning himself to the retreat however, Moore attempts a premptive strike against Soult's isolated corps to the north - reconaissance troops of these forces clashing at Sahagún. Despite a British victory Moore discovers Napoleon closing in so retreats towards the coast via Benavente. A sizeable French cavalry division of 3 squadrons crosses the river Elsa and threatens Lord Paget's rear-guard...

Stage 3 | Retreat through the Mountains
Classes - Lines, Cavalry
Objective Flag-Spawning round - UK must reach the end of the road to achieve victory, France harrass the Infantry and capture flags to reduce their tickets to 0 first.
As the retreat drags on in the treacherous, mountainous terrain, the army is beset by continuous French cavalry attacks; with the relative safety of the bridge at Cacabelos within sight, the British must hold out until they reach safety...

Stage 4 | Rear-guard at Cacabelos
Classes - Line
Flag-Spawning Siege round - reduce enemy tickets to 0 like usual but on a fortified map, FiC and RiC permitted.
Moore's weary army crosses the bridge at Cacabelos, a strong defensive position from which to hold back Soult's advance. General Crawford's light division must hold the crossing, buying Moore time to retreat on to Lugo and from there to Coruna...

One Line spot open for our Scenario tonight!





Next up - Peninsular Campaign 1809-1811
12/04/2023
Teams & Scenario details Updated!


It’s the summer of 1809 on the Portuguese border and the Anglo-Portuguese army under Sir Arthur Wellesley has just repelled a French invasion into Portugal by Marshal Soult. Hoping to take the initiative and potentially gain a swift victory, Wellesley advances into Spain at the head of 20,000 men. He hopes to link up with some 30,000 Spanish troops under General Cuesta, a combined force that may prove able to force its way through French Marshal Victor’s 46,000 and capture the Spanish capital of Madrid...

Waiting List:








Event Stages:


Stage 1 | Talavera, night attack
Classes - Line, Cavalry
Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0.
On the 27th July British, French and Spanish troops converge near the city of Talavera with only a small stream separating the allied and French positions. French divisional commander Ruffin seizes the initiative and attempts a daring night attack, to take a strategic hill on the left flank of the allied position. Ruffin’s gamble pays off, forcing some Kings German Legion troops off the heights. British divisional commander Hill quickly recognises the danger, swiftly moving to counter attack and re-take the heights…

Stage 2 | Talavera, French offensive
Classes - Line
Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0.
On the morning of the 28th the army’s positions become clear, the British having fought desperately to re-capture the heights the night before. Victor draws up the majority of his forces opposite the British on the allied left, considering this the most likely place to break their line. After an intense artillery barrage, the first French attack crosses the stream in mixed order, advancing on the allied position where the British await them...

Stage 3 | Fuentes de Onoro, Rescuing the 7th Division
Classes - Lines, Cavalry
Objective Flag-Spawning Round, Infantry vs Cavalry; Infantry protect your flags (high cost for loss) and retreat to the village atop the hill in good order. Cavalry capture as many flags as possible to reduce UK tickets to 0 before they reach safety.
Talavera proved a phyrric victory for the allies, with heavy losses forcing the British to re-consider their position and withdraw back into Portugal, closely followed by Marshal Soult. Soult is expelled from Portugal a second time at the Lines of Torres Vedras, permitting a second allied offensive in 1811.

On his second attempt at success in Spain, Wellesley moves to capture the fortified city of Almeida. French Marshal Massena moves to relieve the garrison and encounters the British in a defensive position, centred around the village of Fuentes De Onoro. Most of the days battle is spent by the French attacking the village, however a large-scale flank engagement on the British right is almost disastrous; The Light Division narrowly rescues the battered 7th Division, exectuing a fighting retreat against thousands of French cavalry...

Stage 4 | Fuentes de Onoro, holding the village
Classes - Lines, Lights
Siege Flag-Spawning Round (FiC & RiC permitted)
Fuentes de'Onoro in the centre of the allied line has faced fierce infantry attacks all day and is close to breaking point. The village is merely a sprawling set of poor buildings, with high ground to the rear marked by a church. This must be held at all costs if the British are to win the day. The French ready themselves for one final attack, sensing that the battered defenders are close to breaking…
