"Battle of Roliça, August 17th, 1808" Topic

There are a number of Peninsular battles that I have wanted to try out that are for the most part better suited to a battalion level game rather than the brigade level Age of Eagles II rules that I have been playing. Roliça is one of those, essentially a division per side although the British outnumber the French by a considerable amount. This however is counter-balanced by the victory conditions, which give the British a fairly short time to achieve their objectives and the French two positions, one very strong, from which to thwart them.
This scenario was played on a 6' X 9' table using 1/72 scale miniatures. Brian North and I played with Brian's home grown rules and based the scenario on one which can be found on JJ's Wargames.

GREAT looking game!

Is your peninsula scenario book available as a pdf?

Can the battles be converted to other rulesets?

Hi Desert Fox,

Thanks for the kind comments.
The scenario wasn't from any book, but rather from JJ's site, and yes its available there as a pdf. As for conversion, although actual orbats aren't there I'm sure they are readily available.

Agreed great looking game!

JJ's Wargames have produced a lot of early war scenarios as a supplement for the Over the Hills ruleset. See here

Ah, thanks Jabba. I had just heard about this elsewhere (I had no idea JJ had produced a scenario book!)) and have purchased Over the Hills just this week!
