The Battle of Gerova
Spanish Peninsula 1811
31st of August
A great evenings gaming ; The French pushed creating a pincer movement of the main ridge but the Spainsh cavalry stopped the french on the right catching a dragoon regiment in column of march and the timely arrival of Portuguese light dragoons has brought the french veterans in the center to a temporory halt. The bad news for the Spanish is that the brigade on the hill has failed it's brigade check and has to withdraw, send in the reserves sir !

Two divisions of Spanish firmly in place a cross a ridge line to protect the Cadiz road are faced by a high class french force who need to capture the road, heights and river bridge.
Three turns played, and the French have come in the same old style with what looks like to be promising results. The Spanish have lost a 12lb battery, are loosing the first melee in the center and have troops retreating just for being shot at !
But with strong cavalry reserves, can they stablise things ... more to come next week
