Angol leírás

Albuera 16th May, 1811: In early May, French commander Jean-de-Dieu Soult moved a force to attack a British and Portuguese army commanded by Marshal William Beresford. Soult's plan was to defeat Beresford and therefore relieve the British siege of Badajoz. A Spanish contingent, however, had just united with Beresford, and the combined British, Portuguese, and Spanish force now outnumbered the French. Soult attacked anyway, and his plan to outflank the enemy worked well - in the beginning… but a determined defense ultimately repulsed the attack. Can you as Soult decisively prevail against the Allies or as Beresford falter and flounder in the face of French aggression? You decide in this realistic Napoleonic battle game.
