The latest battle in our PBEM 1814 campaign is set in northern Spain General Murray commands the British corps attached to the Spanish Army in north eastern Spain. In the current phase of the campaign he has borne the brunt of the fighting, and did so again in this battle. The Arens phase of the campaign opened on 31 March 1814 with a battle at the town of that name. Murray was defeated, and retreated to his base at Mataro. There he rested for seven days, was resupplied and received reinforcements. On 7 April 1814 he once more advanced east to attack Arens again. Once more he was defeated! The full battle report of the unfortunate Murray's second attempt to take Arens is on the Campaign Diary Blog link |

Hi Fabrizio This is a fictional campaign, and the orders of battle are also fictional. The campaign is designed to provide interesting battles to wargame. There are eight armies in France and four in Spain. Each army starts the campaign with the same order of battle and strength. Each army has four corps. Each corps has four infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade and corps artillery. The strength of an infantry brigade is 4000 men. A cavalry brigade has 1000 men. Corps artillery is 30 guns. There is a full order of battle for each army in the files section of the Yahoo PBEM Campaign Forum, which you will find here link |
