Description: In 1813,alone among Napoleon’s marshals, Suchet won his baton by his victories in Spain. General Arthur Wellesley, Marquess Wellington knew that if Suchet’s forces intervened in the campaign he envisioned in central and northern Spain, things might go badly for the British army. So Wellington requested that amphibious operations be directed against the east coast of Spain in order to keep Suchet’s men occupied. This resulted in the battle we refight today. Beginners welcome.
