(from thenarratives) “La Bataille de Corunna-Espagnol simulates the classic rear-guard action between King George !!!’s only field army, commanded by Sir John Moore, and that of the II Corps of Napoleon’s Armee d’Espagne, commanded by Marshall Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult. Can Sir John buy enough time on the field of battle to allow the safe embarkation of his beleaguered army on the ships of newly arrived English fleet? Or will the French drive his soldiers away from the port, pinning them against the rocky coast, and annihilate them at their leisure?” “The rules are a revision of the award winning system developed by Marshal Enterprises and cover the full range of features that were characteristics of the Napoleonic Battlefield.
