Spain's biggest Peninsular War battle: Ocaña (1809)
« on: June 03, 2025, 03:11:59 PM »
Apparently, the biggest army Spain fielded during the Peninsular War was that commanded by Areizaga at Ocaña. This produced a very enjoyable game for us. It's a nice asymmetric match-up of French quality against Spanish quantity: a French army is outnumbered 3:2 but has to attack, which makes for interesting tactical challenges for both sides.
