At first glance it isn't obvious why this scenario is so one-sided. Yes, the Spanish win victory banners for getting units off the board, but only from the fourth one onwards. Anyway, nephew Tom and I thought we'd try it and I took the French to start with.
The French centre moved forward quickly to attack the advanced Spanish units opposite and eliminated one of the three. However, the other two retreated at speed! And Tom's own actions were to pull back the Spanish left wing, quickly getting three units off the board.
With the Spanish right not moving, I was able to attack it, removing another line infantry despite its position on the hill. However, Tom took another two units off to make the score 2:2.
A Leadership card let the Spanish exit two more units and counter-attack on their right, removing the advanced French line infantry. 2:5.
With three units lined up on the back row, the next Spanish turn finished it 2:6 after half an hour and with most of the French units not having moved.
From the Spanish side it didn't look so simple. The French attacked in the centre again, but lost a unit in destroying a Spanish one. However, the next French attack killed another Spanish infantry and General Rey. 1:3
A Forced march saw the Spanish left beginning to leave the battlefield while the French continued to press forward in the centre. 2:3
Some good musketry gave the French another banner, but Grande Manoeuvre started the Spanish exit in earnest. 4:4 but quickly 6:4. 8:10 to Tom on aggregate.
