Napoleon
has ordered Marshal Soult to take pressure off Messena's column before the
Lines of Torres Vedras. He is to invade Portugal by following the opposite
bank of the Tagus River. To do this, Soult must first relieve the siege of
the key citadel of Badajoz. Beresford, Marshal of the Portuguese Army, guards
Wellington's right flank and has orders to oppose just such a move. But he
must contend with the diversity of his own command of Portuguese and British
troops, and a newly arrived Spanish army under Blake. Man for man, the resulting
battle was the bloodiest test of arms in the Peninsula.
La
Bataille D' Albuera - Espagnol is the fourth volume published for the Marshal
Enterprises series. This wonderfully executed game contains a 34" x 22"
period map, charts, rules, historical commentary, organizational displays,
and over 400 multi-colored unit counters reprinted on thick stock for this
edition. While a reprint of the original game, Albuera still surpasses all
standards of graphic design in the hobby today. Albuera is both an introduction
to the game system for first time buyers and a challenging game for veterans.
