Description

The enjoyment of wargaming is greatly enhanced if the battles (games) are played within well thought-out scenarios. Instead of simply lining up evenly-matched armies and fighting to the death, the players can have realistic objectives (such as the capture of a vital piece of terrain or delaying a superior enemy to cover a retreat) and be confronted with more challenging tactical decisions. Devising such scenarios can take a lot of effort, and more critically time, which is always in short supply. This book is designed to take the time and effort out of organising fascinating and challenging wargames set in the Peninsular War. In addition to 20 carefully devised scenarios of varying size and complexity, this book contains a concise introduction to the theatre of operations and an integrated chronology of battles and campaigns, showing where the scenarios fit into the wider events. The scenarios and orders of battle are intended for use with Pen and Sword's own Napoleonic wargame rules, Grand Battery, but they are easily adaptable for use with other leading systems. AUTHOR: Jonathon Sutherland and Diane Canwell are professional writers with many military history titles to their names, Jon is also an avid wargamer. SELLING POINTS: . 20 carefully devised wargames scenarios. . Each scenario has a clear map, orders of battle, objectives and victory conditions. . Easily adaptable to most leading Napoleonic wargame rule systems. Approx 40 colour illustrations Maps and b/w plates
