Napoleonic Wars Campaign - Map thread [EU] - (COMPLETED)

[33rdKincaid]

Welcome to the Napoleonic Wars Campaign Event, coordinated here on FSE, played in commander battle and hosted by the 33rd Regiment of Foot. For this event the details of the campaign and the movements of each factions troops will be recorded on this thread, whilst sign-ups and conversation regarding the rules will take place on a seperate thread (link below). Individual actions & battles will be fought in Commander battle mode on NW when troops come into contact on the campaign map below.

Each player signed up will represent a small company of men, which are then organised into larger groups to make up each factions forces. We are primarily interested in regimental sign-ups for reliability and to promote coordination within the various troop divisions however individual sign-ups are also welcome and will be brought together when the Campaign commences.

Start (Turn 0)

Next week being the first turn of our Campaign in the Peninsular, both the Allies and France commit 3 Army Corps to the field. The forces participating amount to some 232 companies (ie.players), 3,153 men & horses (incl.bots) or 29,360 men & horses (historical scale, ie: x10!).


The year is 1811 and after a series of unsuccessful french offensives into Portugal the field of play has begun to balance...

The allied I Corps under Field Marshal Wolffe guards the entrance to northern Portugal at La Coruna, consisting of a two British & one Scotch division. Their II Corps is staitioned at Lisbon behind the lines of Torres Vedras, preparing to drive into Spain and consists of two fresh divisions of the Kings German Legion under Field Marshal Lightning. In Support of their Allies the Spanish under Field Marshal Valorios have mustered a strong III corps of three Divisions, to harass the south from Cadiz and Gibraltar.

The French I Corps under Field Marshal Aleko holds a position of strength at Burgos Castle, poised to strike in northern Spain and Portugal. Recently mustered in France, Field Marshal Spoons' II Corps is staitoned at Tolouse and must move quickly to match the Allied Presence in Spain. The final French III Corps guards their southern and eastern territory, with two divisions under Field Marshal Aggofan.

Despite their inital situation France still maintains a formidable presence in the Peninsular, with the fortified city of Badajoz still in their hands. The Allies will have to act quickly to take territory before the French II Corps has time to even the balance in Central Spain. Breakthroughs in either the South or North could also be critical to success for both the French and the Allies.

*** Participants please refresh your knowledge of the Rules on the other thread before we start, as there have been some minor tweaks and clarifications from the original Ruleset ***

Notes...

10th June 1811...

The French I Corps under Field Marshal Aleko confronts the British I Corps under field Marshal Wolffe, at Lugo in northern Spain. The british have ample time to prepare, constructing a formidable defense amonst a range of hills overlooking two plains. The french troops consist of some 5,100 men and deploy heavily on the british left, with a comparitively small contingent of their troops to hold the right in place until their troops can break through to assist them. The british troops on the field number at around 3,200 men and horses, with one battalion of the 32nd foot marching to assist. Their troops who are present deploy fairly evenly with a slight superiority to their right flank.

Battle commences around midday with excellent visibility and with the french troops on the left immediately moving on to the offensive, putting pressure on the fragile british defence there. On the right opposing sides number evenly and both sides seem hesistant to engage fully - the stalemate only changes when the 32nd arrive on the british right, giving them a decent superiority in numebers to quit their defences and destory the french troops in front of them. Unfortunately in the time taken for their reinforcments to arrive the british left defended by the 54th is overpowered and routed... The odds soon turn against the troops on the british right, as victorious french from the other flank join the fray - having taken only minimal casualties. The british, now in a precarious position having mostly left their defenses in the hills have no choice but to call a retreat, the troops of the garrison and a squadron of Scots greys forming a rear-guard for the retreating troops of the 92nd and 32nd.

The French miraculously suffered no significant casualties, with reinforcments arriving to the pressed troops on the right flank in the nick of time. The remaining british re-group and retreat to La Coruna in hopes they may be able to hold off the victorious French I corps behind the cities fortified walls...

Apologies for the hectic nature of our first action in the campaign - we had a phenomenal amount of stand-ins to work around regs not being able to show up which didn't help, but everything did go ahead! Since the 92nd and Wolffe were the only UK who showed up and we could not have gone ahead with the event if it weren't for him, I have amended the casualties to preserve his troops to the detriment of those who did not show up (or even communicate with him).
