MD03 Bussaco "La Grande Battle" (27 September 1810)

Ok, here 2 parts of our game today
Hope, Alessandro fixed the problems with the .vlog files

Hi
Is it possible to play this scenario with base game and the 2 expansions (I mean if there are enough wooden blocks to fill the map) ?
Thanks

I didn´t count the blocks so far, because my friend and me have 2 complete sets, to setup it .

Natürlich !
In our club, we are 5 or 6 guys to have the whole game but it's a little boring to mix the games.
We're gonna try one day.
Thanks

Played Busacco EPIC today with 8 players, took about 4 hours (incl Lunch) and a fair deal of explanations as first game for 4 players, and other 3 had played 1-4 times each.

Generally there were enough blocks from 1 set with the following exceptions and replacements
French Light Infantry - used Young Guard blocks to supplement
Portuguese Line Infantry - used Spanish Line Infantry blocks to supplement

French Right smashed the Allied Left. French Left held and reinforced Centre. French Centre generally beaten back. French won 12-9

Played at my gaming club, 13-7 for the French. The first two turns were crucial with a lot of good cards for the French, allowing them to crush the portuguese (right) flank with LGM and other powerful cards. One of the French field commander then skillfully used his cavalry to generate squares there, removing the initiative from the English players. The use of 3 tactician cards in one turn sealed the battle's fate.

As this battle is a British victory, I wonder if there is a need to make things easier for the British side? Or maybe 7 games isn't enough to see if the scenario is balanced/favors the winning side.
