Battle of Sierra Ninové 1811 - A fictive battle of the Peninsular War


A French-Italian force had taken a strong position  around the town and bridge of Sierra Ninové.
They were attacked by a Allied force of British  and a Portugese- Spanish troops.

Patrick & Geert took the French Italian Force.
Steven and Dirk the Allies.







Geert went for the agressive aproach. end did send his dragoons to charge repeatedly.
As the results were much flags (that eleminated each other) , there was not much movement apart from these charges.
















For the Brittish as for the Portugese - Spanish force, terrain was not favorable, as im much limited the movment possiblities . The Brittish were completly stuk behind rocks and woods. For the Portugese-Spanish in a lesser degree.


On the left, Steven was able to push back the French line, but at a (to) high price. . Not enough reserves left to exploit the situation and take the town.

















 .

The Brits, Unable to deploy properly, were decimated with musketry  losing their numerical superiority in the process.

Without view on victory, the Allied  force had no other option then to retreat.
