Here is a chance to play out the famous battle of Busaco set in the Spanish Peninsular.
Will you out do Massena and defeat Wellington, or can you lead your troops to victory up the slopes to the Convent as Marshal Ney? You may decide to re-enact Wellington’s strategy, or even try one of your own as Arthur Wellesley.
It’s tricky to win as the French but the Allied army is heavily outnumbered.
The Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, particularly in the South, fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland. Antietam was part of the Maryland Campaign, it was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil.
The battle in the Cornfield is said to be one of the most fraught and deadly of the war! As the Union can you lead your men to victoy, or can you as the Confederates repulse the Union.
The bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with about 23,000 casualties overall!
Re-fight one of the key battles of the hundred days. The Battle of Ligny (16 June 1815) was the last victory of the military career of Napoleon.
Will you be able to stop Napoleon before Waterloo, 84,000 Prussians versus 68,000 French, it should be straight forward for the Prussians right? The Prussian troops lack in class what they make up for in numbers, while the French lack in numbers what they make up for in class!
Fought around Arras this fighting took place during the Battle of France. Take command of the Panzer divisions or lead the counter attack with a British Division. This early war game is heavily reliant on manouevre, infantry tactics and artillery support. Can you succeed as the Germans or drive them back as the Allies?
A real pyrrhic victory, can you repeat the success of the Anglo-German and Dutch force against the French, take the Redans and drive them before you, or will you raise the hat of Boufflers and lead the counter charge of the Maison du Roi….This is a real tough battle for the allies and the French are significantly outnumbered, so take your pick and change the course of the battle!
