Virus Infection!

There's a virus spreading across the Napoleonic wargamers world, the "Perry's virus". I have noticed that in many of the blogs I frequently follow, many gamers out there are focusing a lot of painting effort  to the minis of the famous twin brothers, and probably with reason as their 28mm plastic range offers unparalelled price-quality relation in the market.

I have not been inmune the virus, and after playing a few battles with Lasalle (see the posts here and here) and being highly inspired by my visit to the Army Museum in Paris) I decided that it was time to jump on this wagon too.

Battle of Sabugal 1811

I  played today my first game with Lasalle, a small but very enjoyable scenario based on the Battle of Sabugal in Portugal in April 1811 (you can get the background  by clicking on the previous link to Wikipedia), included in one of ths scenario bookelts of General de Brigade. After failing to breach Torres Vedras, Massena began retreating out of Portugal; Wellington sees the opportunity to cut Reunier's 2nd Corps and sent ahead the Light Division supported by cavalry elements, clashing nearby the town of Sabugal.
