PM03 Fuentes de Oñoro - 3rd day (5 May 1811)

Thank you so much to create this scenario! This is one of my favorite battle for many particular reasons and I was missing it!

Played this with the British having first move, since otherwise the British LC is a gimme. All the action was on the French Left, with some exchange of artillery fire on the Right. Overall I don't rate this scenario highly in terms of design, and the Guard Light Cavalry wasn't in Spain for this battle

We've been playing yesterday's night at our club with Guillaume. There is contradictions between the board and the notes. The units on the board are not the same than explained next. It's the same for the terrain hexagones.
Guillaume was very unlucky yesterday especially when throwing the dice.
6/4 for the Allied side with the Cavalry units completely destroyed for both A sides (except the Light Guard). Poço Velho taken by the French and a massive British counterattack in the Centre gave the victory to the Allied side.
6/0 for the French... All wounded French units were able to escape (thanks to Short Supply card !). Poço Velho was taken and despite several fierce melees, the French was unable to keep Fuentes de Onoro under his control.
