GIBRALTAR (4) The assault quickly turns into a slaughter of Spanish and British soldiers. http://www.puntadelanza.net/Publico/2015/AARs/20151227_AARWON_Infidel/Gibraltar_4/01.jpg Inside the fortress is the Malta British Army (disappeared in previous battles) and the fort garrison. They are surpasse...
GIBRALTAR (3) Bad news about this last battle: Ballesteros is killed. He was one of my most promising officers. I have to rebuild again my forces. I join both armies in one commanded by Castaños and I send the most weakened brigades back to Cadiz to recover. Now I have a small command penalty for s...
GIBRALTAR (2) It's not until 20th June when Palafox is active again, so I order him to continue the attack against the British http://www.puntadelanza.net/Publico/2015/AARs/20151227_AARWON_Infidel/Gibraltar_2/01.jpg It's another victory. But, at the end of this week, the British reinforcements appe...
GIBRALTAR CAMPAING (1) Palafox (3-4-4) arrives to Gibraltar on 18 May with 36,720 men and 112 guns. There, trenched and in high ground awaits Sir Samuel Auchmuty (3-2-3) with an small British army consisting in 16,630 men and 56 guns. There are three battles http://www.puntadelanza.net/Publico/2015...
February-May 1805 Well, we were with Cisneros cruising from Cuba to Santander with three cavalry brigades and surrounded by the Royal Navy. But it looks like this wasn’t exciting enough for the admiral, so he decided to enjoy a little more time in Cuba http://www.puntadelanza.net/Publico/2015/AARs/...
JANUARY 1805 First things first, from the War Ministry are ordered the formation of support units to ensure a minimum efficiency in Gibraltar siege. http://www.puntadelanza.net/Publico/2015/AARs/20151227_AARWON_Infidel/Enero%201805/01.jpg A field hospital to recover cohesion in the difficult Gibral...
The quality of the players and AAR promises to be very high - I'm looking forward to it. It has inspired me to write up my own rather brief notes on my first foray in the game - as Spain in 1805, of course. I've picked up a good idea from you already - using sloops to run blockades with distinguish...

Belive it or not, I have assumed I'm not going to win this game
I am looking forward to reading your AAR. I have begun a 7 player campaign as Spain so I want to watch what you do with Spain. Do you feel that Blake could be rated slightly better? I know he was no genius but he is the second weakest general in our army in this game. Good luck. Mike Well, I wouldn...
ARMADA The main Spanish fleet is in Cadiz with Gravina in command http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag46/fsansir/AAR%2001%20WoN/28.%20Flota%20de%20Cadiz_zpsued0dmou.jpg http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag46/fsansir/AAR%2001%20WoN/29.%20Gravina_zpsc6i9b1hm.jpg http://i1298.photobucket.com/album...
SPANISH GROUND FORCES: In Madrid we have the Ejército de España and the Guardia Real http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag46/fsansir/AAR%2001%20WoN/03.Tropas%20Madrid_zpsfphy3ehc.jpg Right now I can only have one army (would like to change its name from Esercito to the correct Ejercito, but it’s n...
PROLOGE This is the Spanish situation regarding objectives and force comparison at the beginning of the scenario: http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag46/fsansir/AAR%2001%20WoN/01.Objetivos_zpsw0coramz.jpg There are a lot of objectives in foreign hands and very few under our control, so we must st...
Hi everybody. As Spanish player, I'm going to post here my reports. At least until L'empereur Dormunt sends Murat to Madrid ;) The game is going to be a hard one, against people from Punta de Lanza, a Spanish Web for wargamers, if you speak (or understand) Spanish you must visit it http://www.puntad...
The Russian were there since the begining. There were also British there, but they were not always there (I think that they are the troops of Malta which were "transported" there after I took it in the peace treaty).
Well, I think that the gratest achievment for the Spanish player in this game is to never know how good Nelson is. I'll don't leave port until the British fleet return to port to ressuply (or they dissapear for not doing it). In this gameplay, Villeneuve and his fleet departed from Cadiz by their ow...
Well, what I'm trying to say is that there are structures there that don't appear in the map. Look to this screenshot: [ATTACH]36193[/ATTACH] Where is the fort and the arsenal in the map graphics? And if I give the order to my troops to enter into the fort they dont't do anything. And the city and a...
The flag and the number and name of the city appear, but there is no structure there. If there wasn't structure the flag would be the small one (like Ronda o Jerez), isn't it?
Ok, this one is really annoying. I disembarked in Palermo and a couple of turns later assaulted the city. In this assault I won against 2 garrison units and took a coastal batery without losses on my side. After this, the city was still Sicilian. Odd. I tried again http://i1298.photobucket.com/album...
Hi, I'm definitively interested in the turn where you see the French shown on the wrong side (graphically only, i.e cosmetic bug, not battle engine bug). GBR fleets not resupplying and doing their picket to death is something we are checking. For Russians, we are setting several measures about that...
I understand your point, but the problem I see in my gameplay is that Spain has not been at war against GB for more than 10 turns so, why are they blocking the Spanish ports then?
